This is very good. I expected more of a potato soup with a hint of bleu cheese, but this is definitely a blue cheese soup with a potato and stock base. The bleu cheese flavor is strong, but nice if you are a bleu cheese lover. I used Lennie's Rescued Turkey Stock for the stock. It would be a great first course for an elegant dinner.

I loved this soup! I didnt add any sherry, because I didnt have any, and it still turned out wonderful! We dipped crackers in it and added a little salt and pepper, but it did taste great without any...just personal taste. I loved it, although my hubby not being a very big bleu cheese fan, said he thought it was ok and would eat it again! Which says alot! THanks for a great soup recipe!
