    I couldn't get all my cauliflower to cook in my size of pan so blended it, poured it back and it cooked beautifully. Did blend it again though in smaller batches, to get rid of any extra 'crumbs'. Also I had to put extra parmesan in to taste it, though I realised afterwards that the Tesco's parmesan was about as strong as strong cheddar - if you use a good one I'd have thought it would be fine. We both loved it and I will be making it again! will add a cheeky little stock cube as per someone else's advice though...

    I thought this was really horrible! I tasted it before I added the parmesan and it was so disgusting I threw it out - no sense in wasting expensive cheese! If you like thick bland custard -like soup that resembles porridge you might enjoy it!!

    A bit bland although I made half portion but added full amount of Parmezan. Maybe I'll try with a cube next time and a bigger onion/more garlic for more taste. A very quick recipe, especially if you have a pressure cooker!

    Agree with some of the others, not nearly enough cheese, didn't have enough parmesan so put in a grated chunk of cheddar. Also added sauted leek and a stock cube, but think it could benefit from half milk half proper chicken stock next time.

    This was absolutely delicious! I added 1 1/2 times the amount of parmesan and added some crumbled crispy bacon to the top of each soup bowl. Yummiest soup ever!

    A bit bland for my taste - I guess the "unhealthy" version would taste awesome: half full fat milk/half single cream, add a veg stock cube, sprinkle with small pieces of blue cheese and white pepper..

    Simple and delicious. I took an idea from another recipe on this site and fried up some small florets and a bit of bacon to add as garnish.

    Made as recipe and it's very nice, as is other cauliflower cheese soup recipe on website. Didn't bother with chives and sprinkled a little extra parmesan on before eating. Will make again.
