From Wisconsin Cheese Recipe Site; this is a neat soup recipe by Chef Steve Fiore Chiappetti. I like to toast the bread and put a slice at the bottom of each plate.

Nice!!!


Luv the ingredient combo thanks bunches higfh5


Dinner tonight in a bread bowl!


I reckon that I'd also like a thick, crusty toast, under a plate of this also. As well as, I'd be goin' light on the bread cubes, because if it's reasonable bread, it's got to be better off being toast under the second plate of this stuff. That'd do me fine, thank you. ;) This shall be served on the weekend!


This sounds fantastic. Greatness in a bowl. Love everything about this recipe. You have my 5.


Oh Victoria, you hit my taste-bud nerves with this one! I love, love, love cauliflower cheese soup - one of my favorites. I am going to try this recipe this week (it's cooling off in a couple more days)...will keep you posted on my results - it sounds fantastic!


It is soup season early in the Ozarks with the temps down in the 50s already. Who does not love creamy, cheesy soups? Thanks for the post! 5UP
