Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-2 TBSP (approximately) of butter
1 onion, diced
1 leek, thinly chopped (optional)
10 stalks celery, chopped medium fine
1 TBSP rye flour
1 quart beef or chicken stock
1 pound Stilton cheese (or to taste)
Generous amount of black pepper, to taste
About ½ cup raw milk
Sea salt to taste
Note: You may substitute bleu cheese, but it's not as creamy as the Stilton, and it's somewhat sharper.

Steps:

Melt butter in pot. When pot is hot, add onion and leek. Stir well for about 5 min, or until slightly softened. Add celery, stir and sauté about 2 min, or until celery softens slightly. Sprinkle in rye flour, and stir in well. Pour in beef or chicken stock, and mix well. Simmer about 30 minutes. Stir in Stilton cheese until partially melted, leaving some small chunks. Mix in black pepper. Stir in raw milk. Adjust seasonings (salt & pepper) to taste. .
