Cashel Blue Leek and Potato Soup

Another easy, everyday way to use blue cheese!

Cashel Blue is the secret weapon in this leek and potato soup. The cheese perfectly complements the sweetness of leek, and blends wonderfully with the creaminess of the potato. Garnishing the soup afterwards with some crumbles of blue cheese makes it extra satisfying.
