Stilton, Celery & Apple Soup - a winter warmer

Stilton, Celery & Apple Soup (a great cold weather warmer)

25g â?? butter
1 onion â?? chopped
3 celery sticks â?? chopped
1 tbs â?? plain flour
150ml (1/4 pt) â?? dry white wine
600ml (1 pt) â?? veg stock (cube)
300ml (1/2 pt) â?? milk
Bay leaf
2 cooking apples
150g â?? stilton cheese

Gently fry chopped onion and celery in butter, stir in flour.
Add wine and veg stock â?? stir until thickened.
Add milk, bay leaf, chopped apple, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Crumble in stilton and stir until melted.
Hand blend and adjust seasoning to taste.

Quantities are not critical and neither are some of the ingredients. Iâ??ve just made some using retsina wine,self-raising flour, some of our stored eating apples and blue stilton and it tastes darn good!
