Re: Soup
Having trouble locating Stilton here - I did find some a couple of weeks ago, but can't seem to repeat that now.
So I ending up going for Roquefort and brocolli; it turned out pretty well, next time I am thinking of pimping it with garam masala. I daren't use too much cheese as OH "doesn't do" blue cheese.

Re: Soup
My friend gave me a couple of leeks from his garden the other day so I'll have to act on that soon.

Very successful. Used: 1 leek, two carrots, garlic cloves, minestrone mix (not beans, actually) paprika, stock, s&p. After the one hour I scooped the veggies, blended, and returned to the liquid. Initially slightly bland, but some chilli pepped it up. It tasted 'less processed' than store soup so will definitely have another go.

Re: Soup
I found Stilton this morning, so up for another attempt this weekend. Will stick with broccoli, but add a leek as well.

Re: Soup
I made stilton and leek once, probably my best ever soup, and I'm no expert. Can't recall the recipe. Tried it again a year later, but it didn't come out nearly as well.

Re: Soup
Dumb question, but is slow cooker vegetable soup as good as boiling/simmering for an hour on the stove?

Re: Soup
I favour the slow cooker for the cheap beef joints (but I don't get them any more) and the turkey leg, but that's because I think the meat comes off more easily than stove top.
I may be completely wrong. Caretaker probably knows.

Re: Soup
Yesterday I made Stilton and leek which definitely surpassed the broccoli and roquefort of last week.
1 medium leek, 1 large carrot, 1 medium potato, 1 large onion, 50/50 chicken stock and veggie stock - about 1 litre, 150g Stilton and a spleutch of cream. Seasoning added at various stages, chilli powder, allspice, cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp salt. Served with homemade garlic and herb croutons.
To be repeated.

Re: Soup
Stilton is now making its Christmas appearance at Costco.
bought 3 lbs yesterday.
Toast bread, stilton on top and lightly grilled.
Serve with tomato soup. Yum.
