Cream Of Celery Soup With Blue Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan then add the onion, potato, celery and caraway seeds.
• Fry gently for approximately 5 minutes until the onion is softened but not browned.
• Add the stock and milk and simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Transfer the soup in batches to a blender and whizz until smooth, then return to the rinsed saucepan.
• Gently reheat the soup, then stir in the cream. Do not allow to boil.
• Crumble the blue cheese into individual soup bowls and pour over the soup.
• Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Give the celery stalks a really good wash, then chop them coarsely. Peel and coarsely chop the onion and celery root.
• Melt the butter in a deep pan, add the chopped vegetables, and let them cook for about twenty minutes, until soft. Pour in the stock, add the bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Season with salt (remember that you will be adding a salty blue cheese later), then decrease the heat to a simmer, and leave for half an hour, stirring occasionally.
• Purée the soup in a blender or food processor until really smooth. It may need a little longer than most other vegetables. Check the seasoning and ladle into warm soup bowls. Crumble the cheese into the soup at the table and stir until it is partially melted.

Steps:

• In a soup pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add celery, onion, garlic and potato and saute for 5 - 7 minutes.
• Add flour and stir constantly for 1 minute.
• Slowly add stock, wine, white pepper and desired amount of cayenne. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes (stirring often), or until veggies are very tender.
• Stir in cream and blue cheese. Heat through but do not allow to boil. Add salt, if needed.
• Serve.
