About

Apples and a tangy blue cheese are a great combination, so why not in soup? This rich combination is best served in small quantities. The key is to choose a flavorful blue cheese that is creamy, such as Point Reyes Original Blue. If you like more apple flavor, then substitute a good organic apple juice for some of the stock or wine.
