    Broccoli and Stilton soup

    Filed under: Recipes;

    Well I had some stilton left over…!

    So I had to buy some broccoli from Bradshaw’s farm shop because we haven’t got any yet ..! It’ sooooo simple. I just googled broc and stilton soup and found this great recipe by a lady called Sue Brewer on www.hub-uk.com/foodpages.

    Melt 2oz/50g of butter in a large sauce pan and add 2 large chopped onions, about 600g/1lb5oz of broccoli (cut into florets) and 1/2 a teaspoon each salt, sugar and grated nutmeg. Steam for 20 minutes.

    Then add 2 pints of hot veg or chicken stock and simmer for around 10 minutes. Blend until smooth then return to pan adding about 150g/6oz of crumbled stilton and 3 tablespoons of double cream. Stir over a low heat until all the cheese has melted and either eat it fresh or freeze in whatever portion sizes suits you. Scrummy, yummy soup – simple and cheap!
