(I've already got a head of califlower in the crisper for the next batch!) The first time I used the parmesan cheese per the recipe and decided it wasn't my favorite flavor combination. This week I used finely shredded mild cheddar cheese and that was just perfect for me. This soup is quick & easy enough to make on a weeknight and it really is silky smooth. Good way to get your vegetable servings in! I’ve made this twice so far and will make my slightly tweaked version again and again.

I love this tuna salad exactly as the recipe states. I do serve it with crackers...wheat thins. I need to get away from the carbs but the crackers really go well with it. May try more almonds next time to up the crunch to eliminate the crackers:-) the tuna salad nirvana continues. I love this tuna salad exactly as the recipe states.

In case anyone is like me and subs similar ingredients without thinking enough, there's a reason it says finely grated parmesan, not shredded or shaved. Grated (I assume) disappears into the soup, while shaved, which I used, melts into globs. Delicious, but not so great for the soup's texture. Good soup.

Hubby can't stop raving! It is so rich and delicious! I did add 2 ounces of cream cheese to the recipe and blended it in at the end. I am SO looking forward to trying your other recipes!

I am a lame follower because I never comment, but I have been making your recipes for a while and LOVE them. I recommend all my clients (I am a holistic health coach and teach people how to shop and cook) use your blog who are looking to start cooking. Your recipes are great and mostly very healthy I tweek them here and there for my own craziness. And what has made me comment tonight is this Tuna Salad from heaven! I never make tuna (first time I bought it in over a year) because I don't like it plain and I don't like it with mayo or the veganese that I use. This is amazing I loved it and it's super healthy. I could go on and on about the things I have cooked from your site but I wont in the sake of your time. Thanks for doing such a great job! Hi Deb!

'oh great, cauliflower .. Yum' I made this soup and changed just a couple things.. I rendered pancetta first before sautéing the onion.. Saved the bits for soup toppings. I also added in a handful of small yellow skinned potatoes.. It came out unbelievably good. Sooo silky! We fought over the leftovers.

Threw in some fresh parsley, then a couple extra pats of butter after blending. Despite the facemaking that accompanied the declaration of "I don't like cauliflower", both of my little lads inhaled the soup without ANY threatening words (No dessert for you!) from me. Now there's barely enough for me to have lunch today. I need to make more next time. The recipe, despite looking like cream of wheat, is delicious and easy and going in my esteemed recipe binder.
