Cauliflower Stilton Soup Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
• 150g of Stilton cheese, crumbled
• 40g of unsalted butter
• 1 onion, chopped roughly
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons of flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely
• 500ml of chicken or vegetable stock
• 150ml of milk
• 2 tablespoons of double cream
• Toast spread with Stilton (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

How To Make Cauliflower Stilton Soup

1. Start by melting the butter in a large saucepan. Add the chopped onion, garlic, oregano, and a bit of salt and pepper. Cook this over medium heat until the onion becomes soft. This should take about 5 minutes.
2. Next, add the cauliflower florets and the chopped parsley to the saucepan. Keep stirring occasionally and let this cook for about 10 minutes.
3. Now, pour in the stock. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Continue cooking until the cauliflower is tender, which should take about 20 minutes.
4. Turn the heat down to low, then add the crumbled Stilton cheese. Stir the mixture well until the cheese is fully combined. After that, add the milk and gently heat the soup through.
5. Finally, taste the soup and add more salt or pepper if needed. Pour the soup into bowls, add a bit of cream on top, and serve.

Recipes Tips

• Use Other Types of Cheese:If you don’t like Stilton, you can use other types of blue cheese like Gorgonzola or Roquefort. The amount would be the same as the original recipe, which is 150g.
• Add More Vegetables:Consider adding about 1 leek or 2 small potatoes to the soup. This will make the soup more hearty and nutritious. You would add these at the same time you add the cauliflower.
• Add Spices:If you want to make the soup more spicy, consider adding about 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or paprika. You would add this when you add the oregano.
• Roast the Cauliflower:You can roast the cauliflower in the oven with some olive oil for about 20 minutes at 400°F(200°C) before adding it to the soup. This will give the soup a deeper, more roasted flavor. You would do this before you start the soup, and then add the roasted cauliflower where the recipe calls for raw cauliflower.
