Cheesy Jalapeno Cauliflower Soup
This is the Cheesy Jalapeno Cauliflower Soup found here. It wasn't too bad, but I'm not sure I'd make it again. If i do make it again, a few alterations:
*it definitely needs a ton more spices than listed there... maybe I just have no tastebuds but I dumped in a whole ton of paprika and cumin.
*It needs more lemon juice.
*I would've preferred it to be thicker, more of a cheesy consistency instead of so watery. I'd do more cornstarch next time to thicken it up a little.
*I added black beans, as one of the recipe comments suggested.
I'm generally not super enthused about cauliflower to begin with, and this was tasty but a little bland and watery. I put in a ton of hot peppers but it didn't really make it very exciting. My mom, however, loved it... and she might make it sometime. I'd say it's a recipe with some potential but it wasn't quite there yet for me. If you're not really into the taste of nutritional yeast, don't bother... because you can REALLY taste it (I love nutritional yeast so that wasn't really an issue for me).
