Total Time 1 hour hr 15 minutes mins
Course Soups and Stews
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Leeks
  • ½ pound Stilton
  • 2 oz Butter
  • 2 Potatoes medium
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 3 tablespoons Yoghurt
  • Salt
  • Ground Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash the leeks, trim them, cut into rounds. Heat the butter in a large saucepan, add the leeks, cook them over low heat for about 15 minutes, until they are just soft but don't them brown or colour.
  • Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and chunk them to get them ready to go.
  • When the leeks are soft, add to the pot 3 ½ cups of water (1 litre or 1 ¾ pints), the bay leaves and the potatoes and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaves, crumble the cheese in, whiz in a blender until smooth. Return to pot, heat through, season with pepper. Just before serving, stir in the yoghurt. As you serve it into bowls, crumble a bit more Stilton on top of each bowl.

Notes

The cheese will be salty, so don't just add salt on reflex: taste to make sure you really need it.
