    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.

    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?
