4. Using an immersion blender, or carefully transferring to a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
5. Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the crumbled blue cheese and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the soup to heat through.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of flavor.
