Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Carrots
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 clove Garlic
- 500 milliliters Vegetable stock
- 100 grams Stilton cheese
- 15 grams Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small chunks.
Peel and finely dice the onion.
Mince the garlic clove.
Place the butter into a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the bowl, stir well, and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Add the chopped carrots and vegetable stock to the bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plate and microwave on high for 10 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!), and let it cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender in batches, then return it to the bowl.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into the soup and stir until it melts and combines with the soup. Microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to warm through, if necessary.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
