BROCCOLI AND STILTON CHEESE SOUP
A classic winner, even those who don't really like blue cheese or indeed broccoli are normally won over by this one. Use Danish blue or Gorgonzola or whatever you cheese you have in. Stilton works best though, so try to stick with that. For those who really despise blue cheese, I'm sure white Stilton would work well too. The bay leaf and lemon juice are not essential but I find they heighten the taste slightly

Steps:
- 1. Place a cooking pot on high heat. Add the water and allow it to boil.

- 3. Cover and boil for 15-20 minutes on medium heat until veggies are nice and soft.
- 4. Remove the lid, add the broccoli florets and cook for another 5 minutes.
- 5. Add the cheese in and either transfer the soup to a blender or blend it with an electric hand blender.
- 6. Season with some cayenne pepper and salt if needed and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh broccoli and Stilton cheese will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh broccoli, you can use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality Stilton cheese. The type of Stilton cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a Stilton cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
- Season the soup to taste. Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Serve the soup with a garnish. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives will add a nice touch of color and flavor to your soup.
Conclusion:
Broccoli and Stilton cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is creamy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. You can enjoy it on its own or serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
