This creamy cauliflower soup with Stilton cheese is so good! I first experienced this great soup on my honeymoon at a little cafe and bookstore near the train station in Edinburgh, Scotland. The day was damp, misty, and cool, and we were tired from a long train trip from London. I encourage you to enjoy this on a similar day along with some chunks from a baguette.

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 leek, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 baking potato, thinly sliced
¼ cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
½ cup heavy cream
3 ounces Stilton cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Separate 3/4 cup of cauliflower florets and place them in a pan of boiling water. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water and set aside for garnish.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, leek, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, remaining cauliflower, potato, and sherry. Bring to a boil; simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and cauliflower are tender. Remove from heat.
Purée cauliflower mixture in batches using a food processor or blender; transfer to a soup pot over medium-low heat. Season with white pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir in milk and cream, then crumble in Stilton cheese. Heat through, but do not boil.
Ladle into bowls, and garnish with reserved cauliflower pieces and chopped fresh parsley.
