Sooo umm the cauliflower magically appears at the end of the recipe, and it needs salt. Lots of improvising needed in this recipe, but i saved it. not that much cauliflower needed, it takes away from the pumpkin flavor.

You could also top this with some green onion, or croutons and a dollop of low-fat sour cream

I corrected the reference to potatoes in the instructions and clarified that croutons may be floated on top. [I made edits to this recipe.]

The instructions include adding potatoes, but there are no potatoes listed in the ingredient list. Also, in the photo, what are those big items floating on the top of the soup?
