BROCCOLI AND STILTON CHEESE SOUP
A classic winner, even those who don't really like blue cheese or indeed broccoli are normally won over by this one. Use Danish blue or Gorgonzola or whatever you cheese you have in. Stilton works best though, so try to stick with that. For those who really despise blue cheese, I'm sure white Stilton would work well too. The bay leaf and lemon juice are not essential but I find they heighten the taste slightly

Steps:
- 1. Place a cooking pot on high heat. Add the water and allow it to boil.
- 2. When water starts boiling, add salt, stock cubes, cayenne pepper and the roughly chopped leek, onion, celery, potato and the broccoli stalks. Leave the florets aside for now.
- 3. Cover and boil for 15-20 minutes on medium heat until veggies are nice and soft.
- 4. Remove the lid, add the broccoli florets and cook for another 5 minutes.
- 5. Add the cheese in and either transfer the soup to a blender or blend it with an electric hand blender.
- 6. Season with some cayenne pepper and salt if needed and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into small pieces. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it.
- Use a good quality Stilton cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder until it reaches your desired flavor.
- Serve the soup hot. It's best enjoyed when it's piping hot.
