    This one was a big miss for us. I followed the directions exactly. The rosemary on the bacon overwhelmed everything. The soup itself turned out watery and lacking flavor, except for the heat from the chili flakes and a persistent background bitterness, probably from the beer. No amount of cheese could save it for us. We'll definitely be skipping this one in the future.

    Good but I thought that it had too much paprika, enough so that the color changed.

    Super delicious soup, especially with the bacon and cheese. I skipped the butter at the end and used a shredded white cheddar and it was very delicious although not something to be whipped up over a lunch hour. The extra effort does pay off with this one though.

    Delicious, filling soup - similar to potato, but lighter texture. The bacon topping was fantastic; I omitted the cayenne as my smoked paprika had enough of a kick. Instead of butter, I stirred in some creme fraiche at the end, as I had it on hand, and liked the tang.

    I served this as soup one night, and then served it as a sauce over a baked potato the next night. The cauliflower secretly makes it creamy without added cream; it's a good way to sneak in vegetables. I used vegetarian "bacon" for my husband; it would be much better with real bacon.
