Ingredients

• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 1 medium (finely sliced, white and light green parts only) leek
• 2 medium (peeled and diced) potatoes
• 750 milliliters vegetable stock
• 250 milliliters whole milk
• 150 grams (crumbled) Blue Stilton cheese
• 100 milliliters heavy cream
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped, for garnish) fresh chives
• 0 optional (to serve) crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sliced leek to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften but do not brown.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir well to coat with the butter.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the milk and return the pot to low heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through.

Step 7

Add the crumbled Blue Stilton cheese to the pot, stirring gently until it melts into the soup.

Step 8

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with finely chopped chives. Serve hot with crusty bread, if desired.
