STILTON CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Stilton Cauliflower Soup image

I love the funk of a good veined cheese, and no cheese in that family exudes funk like Stilton, that English funk-O-rific treat. With this dish, the funk-factor of the Stilton is mellowed by the creamy cauliflower and the result blends together to make it an excellent accompaniment to any sandwich I can think of... except maybe...
