6 cloves garlic, peeled

dash salt
1 litre vegetable or chicken stock
200 ml Alexandrina Pure Jersey Full Cream Milk*

1 teaspoon caraway seeds, chopped
black pepper
TECHNIQUE
- place potato, cauli, carrot, garlic, onion, salt and stock in large saucepan.

- allow to cool enough to handle, then puree with the milk.
- reheat pureed soup and when it’s just below boiling add cheese and seeds.
- stir well.
- add pepper to taste.
*haven’t tried it yet, but 200 ml Alexandrina Pure Jersey Cream (or a combo with milk) should make for a richer soup.
**haven’t tried this yet either, but expect that 2 cups shredded Chilli Cheddar might be a good substitute in July/August.
CALCIUM HEROES OF THE DISH | Alexandrina's Vintage Cheddar is presented in its cloth bound black wax rind. It is a cheese with a firm, smooth texture with nutty, savoury and slightly caramel flavour. This cheese is a handmade closed-textured, cloth-rinded Jersey milk Cheddar matured for over 12 months. This Cheddar is produced using traditional Cheddaring techniques in a 1,000 litre open vat. It has a gentle sharpness, balanced with a sweet mellow after-taste, and its beautiful flavour remains on the palate. It is a grand Cheddar which is aged especially for a connoisseur of fine cheese. Matches red and fortified wine.
Serve this cheese | on a platter with walnuts, quince paste and seasonal figs.
33.8 % minimum fat | available in a 5kg wheel, or various weighted wedges black wax or vacuum packed.
