Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli
- 1 large Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 30 grams Butter
- 1 liter Vegetable stock
- 1 medium Potato
- 150 grams Stilton cheese
- 150 milliliters Double cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by cutting the broccoli into small florets, dicing the onion and potato, and mincing the garlic.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
Add the diced potato and broccoli florets to the pan, stirring to coat them in the butter and oil. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable stock, season with salt and black pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the broccoli and potato are tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender for blending, then return it to the pan.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into the soup and stir until it melts completely. Then, stir in the double cream and heat gently, being careful not to boil.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Serve the Stilton and Broccoli Soup hot, accompanied by slices of crusty bread if desired.
