We subbed brocolli for Califlower since we had a ton in our freezer from the garden- it was delish! Soup is bland though- added garlic and paprika for a smidge more flavor. Not as thick as the picture made it look- but overall very good and super easy!
This recipe was really good! I added/substituted almond milk, frozen cauliflower florets, 2oz of jalapeño cheddar cheese and minced garlic. We will definitely be having this again!
I just made this and it was delicious! And easy! Will make it again
Soup was excellent… only deviations was whole milk and a teaspoon of adobo.
I have made many of their soups without cooking first and they come out fine using the soup button. I still like to either cook or microwave a little bit of reserved veggies and put in the the hot soup for just a little extra substance.
