PUREED POTATO AND BROCCOLI SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS
The broccoli is added to this classic potato soup towards the end of the cooking time, so that it maintains its bright color and sweet flavor. The soup will have a silkier texture if you take the time to strain it after pureeing.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and optional leeks. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute, until fragrant. Add the potatoes, bouquet garni, water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add the broccoli, turn the heat up slightly to bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat again and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is thoroughly tender but still bright. Remove the bouquet garni.
- Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. For a silky texture, strain through a medium strainer set over a bowl, using a pestle or the bottom of a ladle to push the soup through. Return to the pot, taste and adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through.
- Lightly toast the bread and rub with a cut clove of garlic. Top each slice with a spoonful of Parmesan and heat through in a toaster oven or under a broiler, being careful to watch closely, until the cheese melts. Serve the soup, topping each bowl with 2 croutons.

STILTON AND POTATO SOUP WITH CHEESE CROUTONS
A delicious & extremely "grown up" soup recipe, and made with my favourite cheese, the King of Cheeses - Stilton! I make this every New Year's Eve and it is often on the menu throughout the rest of the year as well. It is excellent served as an elegant appetiser for Dinner Parties, as well as being wonderful for a romantic supper for two. This is a much-adapted recipe from Delia Smith's Christmas recipe book - one of my all time favourites. Be careful not to boil the soup when re-heating.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a thick-based saucepan, then add the prepared vegetables and some salt, and cook gently with the lid on for 5-10 minutes to draw out the juices.
- stir in the cornflour to absorb the juices and, when smooth, gradually pour in the cider - still stirring.
- Add the chicken or vegetable stock, cover the pan and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- Then add the milk and Stilton and re-heat, stirring, until the cheese has melted and the soup is just below boiling point.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, then stir in the creme fraiche.
- At this stage you can purée the soup in a food processor or with a hand held blender or, if you prefer the texture of the chopped vegetables, keep it as it is.
- Serve the soup with the Parmesan croutons & the chopped chives.
- CROUTONS:.
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4/180C/350F or pre-heat the grill.
- Place the bread cubes in a bowl, sprinkle in the oil, then stir them around until the bread has soaked up all the oil.
- Next add the freshly grated Parmesan, and stir again till all the bread cubes are well coated.
- Spread them out over a baking sheet and either bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes, or else place them under the pre-heated grill, turning as necessary. (If you use the grill, watch them VERY CAREFULLY as they can burn very easily.).
- The croutons can be made well in advance and stored in an airtight tin for up to two weeks.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this soup, as they will break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The potatoes and broccoli should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the soup the best flavor. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it is often coated with cellulose, which can make the soup gritty.
- Make the croutons ahead of time: The croutons can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Conclusion:
This pureed potato and broccoli soup with Parmesan croutons is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. The soup is creamy and flavorful, with a slight bite from the broccoli. The Parmesan croutons add a nice crunch and cheesy flavor. This soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
