Transfer the mixture to a pan and bring gently to a simmer.

Toast the French bread under a grill until golden-brown on both sides.

Top bread with remaining Stilton slices and grill until bubbling.

Season the soup with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Pour soup into four warm bowls and top each with a crouton.
