- Creamy Stilton and Spinach Soup
Ingredients
- 15g butter
- 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
- 250g fresh spinach, washed
- 600ml vegetable stock
- 200g soft cheese
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- 450ml milk
- 75g Blue Stilton, crumbled
- 4 tablespoons soured cream or natural yogurt
- 2 spring onions, chopped, to garnish
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped, to garnish
Method
Step 1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan and sauté the spring onions for about 2 - 3 minutes until softened, but not browned.
Step 2
Add the spinach and vegetable stock and heat until almost boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and add the soft cheese. Blend for about 15 - 20 until smooth and velvety. Return to the saucepan.
Step 4
Blend the cornflour with 3 - 4 tablespoons of the milk and add to the soup with the remaining milk and most of the crumbled Stilton. Bring up to the boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Reduce the heat and cook gently for 2 minutes, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 5
If serving hot, ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Serve at once, garnished with the soured cream or yoghurt, the reserved Stilton and chopped fresh spring onions and parsley.
Step 6
If you’re serving the soup chilled, don’t add the milk until you have thickened the soup with the cornflour. If you stir in the cold milk, the soup will cool much more quickly. Be sure to serve it icy cold, so chill in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
