This creamy cauliflower soup with Stilton cheese is so good! I first experienced this great soup on my honeymoon at a little cafe and bookstore near the train station in Edinburgh, Scotland. The day was damp, misty, and cool, and we were tired from a long train trip from London. I encourage you to enjoy this on a similar day along with some chunks from a baguette.
