This soup is so wonderful served with hot muffins on a cold winter day! The different vegetables in a creamy, cheesy soup. If soup is not thick enough, stir in instant potato flakes to desired thickness. This will make the soup thick (and a little grainy.)

Cauliflower-Cheese Soup image

I told my wife that I said her Recipe #76000 also made great cauliflower soup, and she ordered me to send this recipe, which is her variation of her mom's recipe. This is good, but I think the Broccoli Soup variation is better... just a matter of taste, I guess.
