This soup is the best comfort food for a cold day and freezes well without the milk. Try cream in place of milk for a thicker soup.

First I have to say that I like how this soup breaks down nutritionally (at least for those not following a low carb diet). As I suspected the soup turned orange from the carrot (almost looks like butternut squash) but it adds great flavor. Cauliflower doesn't really have a lot of flavor but this soup is anything but bland. I used my immersion blender and the soup was very thick so I did have to thin out with a little chicken broth and water. You'll have to adjust the consistency to your preference which is certainly not meant as a negative. Thanks newmommy for a nice new soup recipe. Read More

I sauted the onions and the carrots in a little olive oil for about 5 min on low. I added the chopped potatoes and chopped cauliflower and sauted them for a few min with the onions and carrots. Then added the rest of the ingredients. Excellent and very flavorful. I will definitely make this again! Read More

I added some fresh dill and a pinch of cumin (a similar recipe on AR called for those) and it was delicious. I had the choice between yellow purple and orange carrots and I chose the purple one thinking it would come out purple tinted but of course it didn't. should have used orange lol. anyway great recipe.

This is simple and foolproof. Comfort food indeed! I had close to 2 cups of mashed potatoes leftover from dinner the night before so I blended them in at the last instead of cooking potatoes in the broth. It was delicious and none leftover. Read More

I loved the soup. Omitted the carrot as I didn't have any but didn't effect the soup at all. Still turned out good. Read More

I added some Italian herbs for some extra flavour then pureed it in a blender and did not add the milk. It made a nice bisque fast and easy to make. Serve with crackers and cheese. Read More
