CREAMY PARSNIP AND STILTON SOUP

A great way to use up that bit of Stilton which always seems to be left over from Christmas. But this is so delicious it’s worth buying a small piece to make it at other times of the year. I had both Stilton and parsnips that needed using so this was a frugal meal for me, I even had the cream in the fridge and the stock was from the Christmas ham.

As with most soups, don’t worry about having the exact quantities. Add more or less cream to your own personal liking. Bear in mind if you are using your own ham stock it can be quite salty already and the stilton adds its own saltiness so be sure to taste before seasoning. My own version did not require any additional salt at all.

This is a soup that doesn’t require an age to cook so it can be made quite quickly for hungry bellies.
