This is a lovely winter soup. The Stilton Cheese and the broccoli really complement each other. Or maybe I just love Stilton. Anyway, give it a go. If you can’t get hold of Stilton, I imagine other blue cheeses would work as well.
Ingredients
- 1 broccoli, chopped (including stalks)
- 400ml vegetable stock
- 25g butter
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 75g stilton crumbled
- 100ml double cream
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Fry the onions in the butter on a low heat until they are soft. Add the broccoli and the boiling vegetable stock to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Now stir in the Stilton, and the double cream and blend until you have a smooth creamy consistency. Check for seasoning and serve with good bread.
