📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Add the diced celeriac and pears to the pot, stirring to coat them in the butter and oil mixture.

5. Pour the vegetable stock into the pot, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged.

6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the celeriac is tender when pierced with a fork.

7. Remove from heat and blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, transfer it in batches to a countertop blender.

8. Stir in the crumbled Stilton cheese and cream, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese completely. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

9. Return the soup to the stove on low heat if needed, but avoid boiling after adding the cheese and cream.

10. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve warm.
