This soup is so yummy. It's even better the next day when the spices have a chance to meld into the soup. This is a keeper!

I followed the recipe exactly but didn't find it that tasty. I ended adding some extra spices but still would not make it again.

I make this soup often. I usually leave some of the cauliflower pieces in and puree the rest. It is delicious!

We love this soup. I leave out the dill. I make it often in the winter.

What a unique flavor! I especially liked that it was made over to be a lighter recipe.
