Recipe Tips

  • The brand of blue cheese that you use can profoundly impact the outcome of this soup. Too mild and it will not have enough flavor and too strong may make it have an unbearable taste of blue cheese. It’s best to pick the brand that you know and love.
  • You might not need to add the cornstarch and water mixture if you’re finding the soup is already thick enough.
  • Be careful when seasoning the soup as the blue cheese might make it salty. So, taste before you go to season the soup to ensure that you don’t add too much salt.
  • To make this dish vegetarian-friendly use vegetable stock instead.
  • Heavy cream is also known as thickened cream in some countries, such as Australia.
