Stilton and Walnut soup

This soup is really nice. However, we are not big fans of blue cheese so we usually replace it with cheddar.

Serves 4

60g butter
4 celery sticks
1 garlic clove
2 TBSP plain flour
600ml veg stock
300ml milk
150g Stilton/any blue cheese/cheddar cheese
2 TBSP roughly chopped walnuts
150 ml natural yoghurt

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the celery and garlic. Lower the heat, add the flour and cook for 1 minute.

2. Gradually add the stock and milk and bring to the boil.

3. Simmer and gradually add the cheese and walnuts. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Stir in the yoghurt. Heat through without boiling.

5. Season to taste and serve in warm bowls.

I saw and made this recipe form a vegetarian cook book and it is just wonderful - a great soup!!!! great taste, yummy and unique. Something you'd expect to order at a very progressive and hip or fancy restaurant. BUT EASY TO MAKE!!!
