This soup is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I always have a head of cauliflower in my fridge, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

I'm a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It was still very flavorful.
