Broccoli and Stilton Soup image

From the *Best Ever Chicken* Cookbook edited by Linda Fraser ---- There are many broccoli cheese soup recipes on RZ, but I could not find a single one using Stilton cheese & we love it. Per the intro, "A very easy, but rich soup -- Choose something simple to follow it, such as plainly roasted or grilled meat, poultry or fish." *Enjoy* !

This soup is very easy to make, but it doesn't taste like it! It's so rich and flavorful.

I'm not a fan of stilton cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. The soup was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with stilton.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I was pleasantly surprised! The stilton really mellowed out the broccoli flavor and made the soup very enjoyable.
