Broccoli and stilton soup!

Does anyone have a recipe for broccoli and stilton soup? I've had it in a restaurant so I know I like it. Have had an awful lot of broccoli in my organic box this week and need to do something with it!

Ooh lovely!

think I will just have to try both recipes to find out which is the best!!

Stilton and broccoli soup

Thanks Daisy260, will try it this weekend!

let me know what you think of it, I might give it a go too!

Mmmmm

looks good, mite try it...

I've just made this...

I've just made broccoli and stilton soup for tea today! This is the recipe I use, it's vegetarian and really simple. Serves 2-3, depending on the size of the broccoli and potato etc.

1/2 onion, chopped
1 medium-large potato, diced
1 head of broccoli
500ml vegetable stock (or water with a veggie oxo cube)
2oz stilton
dash of oil for frying

Personally I prefer sprouting broccoli because it has softer stems than a head of broccoli, so all of it is useable.

Fry the onion in the oil on a high heat, turn down to medium and add the potato and broccoli, stir until the juices begin to come out of the broccoli and potato. Add the stock and simmer on a low heat until the potato is cooked. Its always better to undercook the soup a bit rather than overcook it. Add the stilton, stir in until its melted, then puree the whole lot. Return to the pan, heat through well until bubbling (or erupting like a geyser, since it comes out quite thick...) and serve.

Thanks
