Here is a simple easy to follow guide to making broccoli and stilton soup, I discovered that I can make 5 portions of this soup for less cost than 5 portions out of a tin!
Ingredients can vary depending on your personal taste so don't be afraid to add a little more or less of something as you wish. I personally think this has a much better taste than any from a supermarket because I can make it to how I like it.. Happy cooking!
Ingredients;
1 or 2 florets of broccoli
150g blue stilton
1 large onion
4 tbsp. double cream
1 ltr hot water
1 veg stock cube
2 tbsp. butter
Pinch of salt
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large pan and gently cook 1 onion, chopped, for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add broccoli (Chopped) and cover (occasionally stiring) for 5-10 minutes
Add stock cube dissolved in 1 ltr hot water
(OPTIONAL take pan from heat and blend with a hand blender **note- make sure there is enough free depth in pan to avoid scalding whilst blending)
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the broccoli is very tender.
Crumble 200g Blue Stilton into the soup and stir until melted.
