    It's the day after Hurricane Sandy and we got off easy in Toronto. But still, it's been a grey, gloomy day, so I got busy and made your soup recipe this afternoon. Bowls of golden goodness for dinner tonight (thanks to the carrots and the cheddar cheese I used), and more safely packed away in the freezer for hot lunches at work! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

    WOW!!! I must admit that I did not have very high hopes for a cream soup made without cream, but in keeping with my new years resolutions, I was looking for a healthy soup to help warm the bones on a cold winter's day. I made this for the first time today, and It is AMAZING!! It is far better than I expected, and so thick and hearty! Thank you for this fantastic recipe, it has become an instant favorite!

    I had a lot of surplus leeks and went online to see if I could find some tasty recipes to use them up and came across this one for your lovely soup. It was so easy and very enjoyable. Thank you from chilly Scotland, where we need a bowl of hot soup most days in the Winter months. :-) Excellent

    I've made this several times already and everyone loves it! My husband and one of my children, don't like to eat veggies at all. It's a daily struggle. So I told them this was a creamy cheesey type of soup. They tasted it and their eyes lit up. Now they ask for it all the time!
    They have no idea it's so low in fat and full of Cauliflower,which is the veggie the like the least! Thank you so much for this recipe!

    Inmaculada, I made this soup today - it is 5 below zero here and we wanted something warm and comforting. The soup is EXCELLENT - so flavorful and I loved that there was no added fat from butter or cream...healthy, tasty and a true keeper. Thank you so much for sharing this - it is a new family favorite!

    I'm at the library right now printing this out, can't wait to try this. I love a creamy soup that way i can sneak a few things in that my son thinks he hates and he will never know.
