Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- Don't overcook the apples. You want them to retain their shape and texture. Cook them until they are just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a good quality Stilton cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a Stilton that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong blue cheese taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A little bit of thyme, rosemary, or sage can add a lot of flavor to your soup.
- Serve your soup with a crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
