Spinach and Blue Cheese Soup

Spinach and Blue Cheese Soup
  • 6 tablespoons margarine
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups milk
  • 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt to taste
  • ground cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1 pound bacon


  1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the butter or margarine and the onions. Saute for about 3 minutes. Add flour and stir well until mixed. Add broth, raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Whisk mixture to keep flour from clumping.
  2. Add milk, reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the blue cheese and stir until blended, then add the spinach and cook 3 more minutes. Add the cream, bring just to a boil, turn off heat and stir well. Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
  3. Allow to cool and puree in a food processor or blender a little at a time. Ladle into individual bowls and sprinkle with the bacon. (Note: to serve cold, omit the bacon and add a little freshly squeezed lemon juice.)
