Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups leeks, tough outer green leaves removed and thinly sliced
1 cup onions, chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
2 3/4 pounds broccoli, stalks peeled and diced, florets separated
7 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound Stilton, coarsely grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup almonds, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a heavy-bottomed pot. Sweat but don't brown the leeks, onions and celery, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli and sweat for 10 minutes more. Add stock.
  • Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and simmer till the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • In a food processor, puree the vegetables in their broth and return them to the pot.
  • Ten minutes before serving, stir in cream, then the grated Stilton. Once the cheese has melted, taste. Add pepper and, if necessary, salt.
  • Serve immediately. Pass the almonds in a separate bowl, and garnish the soup generously.

This soup is really bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

I thought this soup was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the Stilton cheese flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the broccoli.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.
