The time in the stock serves to poach them enough, yeah. The flavour
of the onions and the garlic doesn't come through as overly harsh,
since they have to compete with the Stilton.

Others may find it not to their taste, and may prefer to sweat the
veg. first. It might be of more use if you're not going to blenderise
the soup at the end of cooking, since you'll be eating the bits of
vegetable whole, rather than as part of the more unifrm blenderised
mix.

Or, uh, something.

There's stuff above here
