This British soup is creamy, rich, delectable and easy to make.
In UK it’s usually made with Stilton, a British creamy blue cheese but if not available you can make it with any other blue cheese! I also tried it with camembert and Brie cheeses and it was as good.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli, washed and roughly chopped together with the stalks
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 leek, chopped
- Spices: white pepper, nutmeg, turmeric
- 1 Vegetable stock cube diluted in about 1 litre of water
- 150g of blue cheese, roughly crumbled
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- Salt, to taste
Method
Step 1
Put a pot over a high medium heat, add the oil and sauté the onion, garlic, leek and celery for 5 minutes then add the broccoli and all the other ingredients and cook until the broccoli has softened and the cheese has melted. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Step 2
Remove the bay leaves. With a hand-held blender (or use a standing blender) purée the soup until it becomes smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a little bit more of broth or water. Serve piping hot with some crunchy bread!
