This soup is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out watery. I had to add more flour to thicken it up.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but this soup was surprisingly good. The cheese sauce really masked the cauliflower flavor. I would definitely make this again.

Just made this soup for dinner and it was fantastic! My whole family loved it, even my picky kids. The cauliflower was so tender and the cheese sauce was perfectly smooth and flavorful. Will definitely be making this again.

This cheesy cauliflower soup is a game-changer! It's so creamy and flavorful, I can't believe it's made with cauliflower. I added a little extra cheese and some diced bacon, and it was absolutely perfect. Definitely making this again soon!
