Introduction
A wilting half bunch of celery and a root round the fridge and pantry for other bits and bobs yielded this lovely soup. There's a major cheat in here that some will turn their noses up at but it yielded an in the door to on the table delicious dinner in 20 minutes! If you've got time, peel, dice and cook a large potato in the broth instead. The Gorgonzola is creamy enough you don't need any more cream added. This is just a superb combination of flavours.
