Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 1 bunch celery, leaves picked and sticks chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 medium floury potato, peeled and chopped
  • 750ml vegetable stock
  • 100ml single cream
  • 100g stilton, crumbled
  • chives, snipped to make 1 tbsp

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oil in a stock pot or large pan and fry the chopped celery and onion for 8-10 minutes until softened but not golden. Stir in the potato and stock, then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potato is tender.

  • STEP 2

    Blitz the mixture with a stick blender until smooth, then stir in the cream and most of the cheese. Heat gently until the mixture is steaming and the cheese has melted. Season well, then add a splash more stock or water if you prefer a thinner soup.

  • STEP 3

    Ladle the soup into four bowls. Crumble over the remaining cheese, then top with the reserved celery leaves, the chives, some more black pepper and a little olive oil.
