Celery, Apple, Roasted Garlic and Blue Cheese Soup

This blended soup turned out really nice so I thought I'd share!

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 white onion chopped
• 1 bulb roasted garlic chopped
• 4 stalks celery chopped
• 1 gala apple chopped
• 2 Tbsp fresh (or frozen) basil
• the zest and juice of 1 lemon

Combine all of the above and simmer over medium-high heat for 8 minutes. 

• 6 cups of chicken stock
• 30 grams / 2oz of danish blue cheese

Add the stock and blue cheese and bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Blend the soup using a hand held blender, food processor, or regular blender. 

• garnish with a fresh basil leaf
