This alliterative sounding soup is a real stunner. Creamy and velvety smooth, it makes a satisfying starter or a lunchtime meal. A great way to boost your five-a-day, it is stocked full of healthy veg. Celeriac is a seriously, sadly underused vegetable with a big nutritional punch – full of vitamins and minerals, it is a good source of Vitamin B6, C and K, as well as iron, calcium and phosphorus. Of course, the cream and Stilton is a little bit of indulgence – but you deserve it!
