Celeriac and blue cheese soup

Celeriac, hmm, lumpy

I am having another soup moment: this time I needed to use up a celeriac that had been placed in our organic veg box. Luckily, the box people had provided a recipe for the above soup, and very nice it was too.


Celeriac and blue cheese soup

1 medium onion, chopped
500g celeriac, peeled and chopped
900 ml veg stock
150 ml single cream
100g blue cheese (I used a local cornish cheese. Any crumbly blue cheese will do. Remember you will get the cheese melting and the blue veins kind of floating around, so don't be distressed by this)
salt/pepper

Gently saute the onion and celeriac until the onion is translucent. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes/until the celeriac is tender. Cool a little, then blend. Stir in the cream and blue cheese, and heat gently to melt. Add seasonings to taste. Works very well with a nutty spelt or walnut bread.

Next in soupkitty: I'm hoping to collect some nettle tops, so stay tuned.
