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.
