List of Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 cup finely-diced white onions
1 1/2 cup chopped leeks, white part only
3/4 cup finely-diced shallots
2 lrg carrots finely chopped
3 tbl minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

3/4 cup port wine
1/2 lb Stilton cheese crumbled

In a large, heavy-bottomed non-aluminum saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add onions, leeks, shallots, carrots, parsley and tarragon. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until onion and carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
Puree vegetables in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Return puree to the saucepan. Sprinkle puree with flour and stir over low heat for about 3 minutes to cook flour.
Slowly add milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook over medium heat until mixture is hot and thickened. Add port and stir until heated through.
Add cheese and stir over medium-low heat until melted and evenly blended. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Ladle into heated soup bowls. Sprinkle with bacon, if using, and chives.
