Broccoli and Stilton Soup is a rich, creamy, and flavorful soup that combines the earthy taste of broccoli with the sharp, tangy flavor of Stilton cheese, a blue cheese from England. It’s a comforting dish that’s perfect for chilly days or as a starter for a cozy meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make Broccoli and Stilton Soup:

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter for a richer taste)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large head of broccoli, chopped into florets (about 500g)
• 1 large potato, peeled and diced (helps with creaminess)
• 750ml (3 cups) vegetable or chicken stock
• 250ml (1 cup) milk (or cream for a richer soup)
• 100g (3.5oz) Stilton cheese, crumbled (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: A pinch of ground nutmeg for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Wash and chop the broccoli into florets, and peel and dice the potato. Set aside.

2. Cook the Onion and Garlic:

   • Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Cook the Broccoli and Potato:

   • Add the broccoli florets and diced potato to the pan. Stir everything together for a couple of minutes.

4. Add Stock and Simmer:

   • Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the potato is cooked through.

5. Blend the Soup:

   • Once the broccoli and potato are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
   • Return the soup to the heat once blended, and add the milk (or cream). Stir well to combine and adjust the consistency to your liking (add more milk for a thinner soup, or a little more stock if needed).

6. Add Stilton:

   • Crumble the Stilton cheese into the soup and stir until it melts and combines. The cheese will give the soup a lovely creamy texture and a tangy flavor.

7. Season:

   • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for extra depth of flavor if you like.

8. Serve:

   • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with extra crumbled Stilton or a drizzle of cream if desired. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for color and flavor.

Tips:

• Vegan Option: For a vegan version, you can substitute the Stilton with a plant-based blue cheese or a non-dairy cheese and use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk.
• Make it richer: If you prefer an extra creamy soup, you can replace the milk with heavy cream or add a dollop of sour cream while serving.
• Add crunch: Serve with some crusty bread or toast on the side to add texture.

Serving Suggestions:

• This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, a simple green salad, or a side of roasted nuts.
• You could also serve it as part of a three-course meal with a light appetizer and dessert.

Enjoy this warming, flavorful soup that beautifully balances the richness of Stilton with the freshness of broccoli!
