So flavorful - love the bit of heat! Nice change from the typical creamy or cheesy broccoli, cauliflower and carrot soups. I was looking for a fresh way to use extra veggies I'd prepped for a party tray, and am so happy I found this one.

Very delicious, and super healthy! I like a thicker consistency, so I boiled the cauliflower until soft then blended it into a slurry, then added it with the broth. Tastes very good with the parmesan. This is going in my rotation of meals!

This is an EXCELLENT recipe! Thanks for posting. Cutting the broccoli and cauliflower up small makes the florets and the stems all cook evenly and taste so good in the thin broth. I don’t like things too spicy, and actually substituted a small squirt of Siracha for the red pepper flakes…but that small amount of heat adds a lot of richness and flavor. Yum!

I made mine with chicken broth made from half a roaster chicken and used the chicken from that in the soup. I also roasted the broccoli and cauliflower. It had a very nice taste. Would def make again.

Could you puree half of the soup with an immersion blender?

I was a little skeptical at first, but after reading a prior review that suggested a little meat, it really came together. I used smoked turkey sausage and chicken broth instead of the vegetable broth. Thanks so much for the recipe....kudos. !!!

I agree on the calorie count. And it took me 25 minutes just to chop veggies! I do think there are great options to change this up. Adding a bit of meat, potatoes and or corn if it fits your meal plan...purée Some of the soup to make it creamy.... a keeper!

This soup was very tasty, but I agree with Jeanne - the nutrition information is off. I calculated 124 calories per serving.

Made this twice now. Added some Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor to change it up the second time.

I've just made this soup and it smells great. I think the nutrition information is incorrect. Basically it has vegetables and herbs in to and 1tbsp oil. Either something is missing from the recipe or the analysis is wrong. Please let me know.

This soup was really good, I added some kale because I had some to use up and about 3 to 4 tbs of nutritional yeast for fun.
