So for everyone complaining about the salt, the soup was completely bland with just 1 Tbs of salt. I added more and 3 was perfect. We enjoyed it tremendously.

Thanks to the previous reviewer for that note about the salt. Although I have yet to make a soup that called for 3 TBS, it wasn't until I saw your note that I realized how much that is. I reduced it to 1 1/2 and it is still quite salty, but edible. I'll probably reduce it to 1 TBS the next time (yes, there will be a next time - - the soup is delicious).

Too much salt!! It says 3 Tablespoon salt, which I followed , but it was way too salty! Reduce to at most 2 Tb. Maybe even less.
Otherwise a tasty soup

3 was perfect. Not sure why people had issues with it

Too much salt? 3 T salt sounds like way too much. Is that a mistake?

Hi Bruchie. There isn't any soup stock, which adds salt to most recipes, and cauliflower is more of a bland vegetable, so that's why there are three tablespoons of salt. If you are concerned, maybe start with one and add as you taste.

HI Chani,
Take half a cup of cider vinegar and add half a cup of water. Add two tablespoons honey or sugar and a splash of lemon juice.
