Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups Low sodium vegetable stock
- 100 grams Stilton cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, ensuring the garlic doesn't burn.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir well to coat them in the oil, onion, and garlic mixture.
Pour in the low sodium vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches and blend until creamy. Return the soup to the pot if using a standard blender.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into the soup and stir in until fully melted and integrated into the soup.
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the pot and stir to combine. Heat for another 5 minutes over low heat to warm through.
Season with fresh black pepper and chopped thyme. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Serve hot, garnished with additional crumbled Stilton cheese and a sprig of thyme if desired.
