Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb cauliflower, cut into small florets
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 leek (white and pale green parts only)
3/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk (may use more)
3 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled
white pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Blanch 1 cup cauliflower florets in medium pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water; drain well. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, leek, celery, and remaining cauliflower. Cover and cook until onion is tender but not brown, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Gradually stir in vegetable broth. Add 1 cup milk. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover partially and simmer until vegetables are very tender and soup thickens, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • Puree soup in blender in batches until smooth. Return to same saucepan. (Cauliflower and soup can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring cauliflower to room temperature before using.)
  • Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more milk, if desired. Gradually add Stilton, stirring until melted. Season to taste with white pepper and salt.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with reserved cauliflower and serve.
