Broccoli and Stilton Cheese Soup image

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

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

350 g broccoli (one medium or large head)
1 small onion, chopped
1 pint chicken stock or 1 pint vegetable stock
100 g stilton blue cheese
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste, remember the cheese and stock are already salty)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (a good grinding)
3 drops lemon juice

Steps:

  • Put the stock into a large pan and bring to the boil.
  • Separate the stem of broccoli from the tender florets.
  • Chop as much of the stem as you can and boil for 2-3 minutes along with the onion before adding the florets.
  • Lower the heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes, put a lid on the pan but leave a gap.
  • Remove from the heat, remove the bay leaf, add the cheese and blend until smooth using a hand or jug blender.
  • Add the salt, pepper and lemon juice, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve with a nice bit of bread.

I'm not a fan of Stilton cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. It was still delicious!

The soup was a little too thick for my taste, so I added some milk to thin it out.

I added some crumbled bacon to the soup and it gave it a nice smoky flavor.
