http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/member-recipes/recipe-detail/2744/. This looks good. I had left over celery at Christmas and used it, also had left over Stilton and threw that in too, very tasty

[Smowball]

Well that sounds easy enough! Have you made it Danny?

[dannyk13]

No, sorry Smowball.

[Smowball]

That looks good too Margo

I bet the Jamie one is lovely with the Stilton. How much stilton did you put in Margo? x

[mccfluff]

not a soup i know but i like stir fried celery with lots of garlic and oyster sauce

[MargoTester]

To be honest Mazie I really don't know just put in what I had left over! I have since bought a soup maker and would just put all the ingredients in that, minus the Cream and cheese. I wouldn't put the cream in at all now and crumble the cheese in at the end. As you can tell I'm a fairy random cook!

[mazie]

that's fine Margo..I'll use the same amount as I do for broccoli and stilton soup. x

[MargoTester]

Good idea Mazie- I hope you enjoy it xx

Celery & cauliflower. 1 head celery, 1 cauliflower, 2 veg oxo cubes, water to cover, salt & pepper to taste. Cook, then liquidise. Add grated cheddar for extra taste & thickness.

No stock cubes in soup please!

[ummmm]

Why not?

[diddlydo]

Because they mask the flavour of the main ingredient, especially veg.

[ummmm]

I don't think so. All the soups I make contain stock cubes and still taste of the main ingredient.

A good stock gives a depth of flavour IMHO. Each to their own though.

No stock (and definitely no commercial stock cubes) in veg soups is a tip I got from a chef at Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir when he was doing demos at a local food festival - I've never looked back.
