1 bay leaf
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 cups crumbled Stilton cheese (6 ounces)
Snipped parsley

Directions:
Cook onion, carrot and bay leaf in butter in 3-quart saucepan until onion and carrot are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and while pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth and half-and-half. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in cheese; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until cheese is melted. Remove bay leaf; sprinkle soup with parsley. Makes 6 servings.
