Silky Stilton Ginger Mango Soup with Spicy Andouille Sausage...Garnished with Crispy Apple Wood Smoked Bacon


6 oz Ginger Mango Stilton Cheese crumbled
2 cups packed grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 Stick butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large Vadilla Onion peeled and diced
4 ribs of celery cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon Curry Powder
8 oz Andouille Sausage cooked and cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I grilled the sausage on a gas grill but this is not necessary)
16 oz Apple Wood Smoked Bacon
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Minced fresh parsley

Melt butter and vegetable oil in heavy large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots and celery and saut until tender, about 5 minutes. Add Curry Powder. In a separate heavy large frying pan cook bacon in batches until crisp. Drain. Add onion and potatoes and saut all vegetables in the stock pot another 5 minutes. Reduce heat to med low. Add chicken stock and cream and heat several minutes. Spoon out several ounces of the broth and make a paste with the flour. Add the Flour paste to the soup. Add half the bacon and all the sausage. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add cheese and stir just until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and bacon and serve.
