Yield Makes about 4 1/2 cups or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, strings removed with a vegetable peeler and ribs finely chopped
1/2 lb cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (2 1/4 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/3 cup crumbled Stilton cheese (2 oz)
1/2 cup light cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Garnish: croutons and crumbled Stilton

Steps:

  • Cook onion, celery, and cauliflower in butter in a 3 1/2- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion and celery are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add broth and 1 cup milk and simmer, covered, until cauliflower is very tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Purée cauliflower mixture in 2 batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), then return to cleaned saucepan and bring to a simmer. Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved, then add to soup and simmer, whisking, until soup is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add Stilton, cream, pepper, and salt and cook over low heat, whisking, until Stilton is melted and soup is smooth, about 1 minute
