Cauliflower Soup With Blue Cheese image

Sourced once again from a delicious Donna Hay recipe - we have made the basic soup recipe and made changes - sometimes adding fried Chorizo, sometimes leaving the soup plain and serving with sourdough bread. Make your mind up depending on what takes your fancy or what you have in the fridge to save! We tried this recipe again tonight, but left out the blue cheese and oregano and substituted - 2 teaspoons of paprika and one cup of cheddar cheese - yum again!!
