Ingredients

  • Butter – 25g (1 tbsp)

  • Onion – 1 large, chopped

  • Garlic – 1 clove, crushed

  • Broccoli – 500g, chopped into florets

  • Potato – 1 medium, peeled and diced (for creaminess)

  • Vegetable or chicken stock – 1 litre

  • Stilton cheese – 150g, crumbled

  • Double cream – 100ml (optional, for extra richness)

  • Salt and black pepper – to taste

(Optional garnish: extra Stilton crumbles, parsley, or a swirl of cream.)

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the onion and garlic

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 2: Add the vegetables and stock

Add the broccoli florets and diced potato to the pan. Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3: Blend until smooth

Remove the pan from the heat and blend the soup using a hand blender until smooth and creamy. For a rustic texture, pulse lightly to retain small broccoli pieces.

Step 4: Stir in the Stilton

Return the soup to low heat. Add the crumbled Stilton cheese, stirring until melted and well combined. If using, pour in the cream for extra richness.

Step 5: Taste and serve

Adjust seasoning to taste. Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra Stilton crumbles or a drizzle of cream, and serve hot with crusty bread.
