STILTON, CAULIFLOWER & PEAR SOUP

Rated 5 stars by 1 users

A great way of using up leftover Stilton, this soup is a lovely mix of sweet and savoury ingredients. Topped with crunchy walnuts and crumbled Stilton it’s a delicious combination of textures too.

Directions

  1. Step 1 Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and celery and gently soften for 5 minutes.

  1. Step 2 Add the cauliflower and pears. Gently toss and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes.

  1. Step 3 Add the vegetable stock and simmer partially covered for 20 minutes.

  1. Step 4 Remove from heat and add 150g of the stilton. Using a hand blender/food processor whizz the soup until smooth adding seasoning to taste.

  1. Step 5 Next grind the sea salt and sugar together in a pestle and mortar and use to coat the walnuts. Toss the coated walnuts in a hot frying pan for a minute until the coating has disappeared and the walnuts appear toasted. This happens very quickly so keep watching!

  1. Step 6 To serve ladle the soup into bowls, top with the rest of the crumbled Stilton, parsley and a sprinkling of the toasted walnuts.
