Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 30 grams butter
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 chopped celery stalks
- 1000 ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 150 grams Stilton cheese
- 100 ml heavy cream
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- optional, for garnish fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Chop the broccoli into smaller florets and set aside, including the stalks which should be peeled and sliced.
In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and sliced stalks to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the butter.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the soup to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. Alternatively, if using a countertop blender, blend in batches for safety.
Return the pot to low heat and crumble in the Stilton cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted into the soup.
Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Increase the heat slightly and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the soup is heated through.
Once the soup is hot and creamy, it's ready to serve. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley to add a pop of color.
Ladle the soup into bowls, serve hot, and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal.
