CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER AND STILTON SOUP
I first experienced this great soup (the Stilton makes all the difference) on my honeymoon at a little cafe and bookstore near the train station in Edinburgh, Scotland. The day was damp, misty and cool and we were tired from a long train trip from London. I encourage you to enjoy this on a similar day along with some good chunks from a baguette.

Steps:
- Separate 3/4 cup of the cauliflower florets and place them in a pan of boiling water. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water, and set aside for garnish.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, leek and celery. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add potato, chicken broth, uncooked cauliflower and sherry. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until potatoes and cauliflower are tender. Remove from heat.
- Puree the cauliflower mixture in batches using a food processor or blender, and transfer to a soup pot over medium-low heat. I like it smooth but still with little tiny bits in it. Season with white pepper, black pepper and salt. Stir in the milk and cream, then crumble in the Stilton cheese. Heat through, but do not boil.
- Ladle into bowls, and garnish with cauliflower pieces and chopped fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Use a good quality Stilton cheese, a flavorful chicken stock, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the soup watery.
- Cook the vegetables until they are soft: The vegetables should be cooked until they are soft but still have a little bit of bite to them. This will give the soup a good texture.
- Use a good quality blender: A good quality blender will help you to get a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor, but the soup may not be as smooth.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is blended, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the soup immediately: Creamy Stilton soup is best served immediately. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of crumbled Stilton cheese, chopped chives, or a swirl of heavy cream.
Conclusion:
Creamy Stilton soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is creamy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
