Additional Tips

• You can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make it a vegetarian soup.
• If you do not have Stilton cheese, you can substitute it with any other blue cheese.
• If you want a creamier soup, add more heavy cream or half-and-half.
• You can add some croutons or chopped nuts on top of the soup for some extra texture.
• If you want to make it a little spicy, add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the soup.
