Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 small broccoli head, chopped
6 tablespoons flour
3 3/4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup Stilton cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper
4 to 5 tablespoons heavy cream
Croutons, for garnish

Directions

Melt the butter in a medium size saucepan, add the vegetables, and fry gently for 5 minutes until soft but not browned.

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the stock and return to heat. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously until the soup thickens. Allow to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

Cool soup slightly and press through a sieve. Return soup to pan, add the milk, and heat gently. Stir in the Stilton, salt and pepper, and heavy cream until melted. Blend soup for extra thickness.

Do not allow soup to boil at this point, it will curdle.

To serve, garnish with croutons.

Really Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Simple to prepare, a little bit different and very tasty. I used up some stilton which was past its best for the... cheeseboard. It was great in this recipe.Read more

Excellent soup - This recipe is a keeper
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a very easy soup to make and the end result was fantastic. My husband said it was the best broccoli soup he ever... tasted. This was my first attempt at broccoli soup and I was really pleased with the end result. A few suggestions to the recipe - I sauteed the onions in the butter for a few minutes before adding the broccoli to make sure they softened as once you add in the broccoli the pan is quite full. I did not have un-salted butter and just used regular butter but it did not seem to affect the end result. The Stilton cheese melted very easily in the soup and I did not add the cream until just before I was ready to serve the soup. I would make soup this again in a heartbeat it was so easy and really delicious.Read more
