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* !

BROCCOLI AND STILTON CHEESE SOUP



Broccoli and Stilton Cheese Soup image

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

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

350 g broccoli (one medium or large head)
1 small onion, chopped
1 pint chicken stock or 1 pint vegetable stock
100 g stilton blue cheese
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste, remember the cheese and stock are already salty)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (a good grinding)
3 drops lemon juice

Steps:

  • Put the stock into a large pan and bring to the boil.
  • Separate the stem of broccoli from the tender florets.
  • Chop as much of the stem as you can and boil for 2-3 minutes along with the onion before adding the florets.
  • Lower the heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes, put a lid on the pan but leave a gap.
  • Remove from the heat, remove the bay leaf, add the cheese and blend until smooth using a hand or jug blender.
  • Add the salt, pepper and lemon juice, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve with a nice bit of bread.

BROCCOLI AND STILTON CHEESE SOUP

For vegans: replace the blue cheese with vegan cheese.

Provided by Ramona's Cuisine -

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

800 g broccoli
1.5 l water
1 medium-large onion
1 medium leek
2 sticks celery
1 large baking potato
1 medium carrot
2 cubes vegetable stock
1 pinch cayenne pepper
100-120 g blue cheese (stilton, roquefort or danish blue)

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 Stilton cheese: A good quality Stilton cheese is essential for this soup. Look for a cheese that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong blue vein running through it. Avoid cheeses that are too dry or crumbly.
  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen broccoli if you don't have any fresh on hand. Just be sure to thaw the broccoli before using it.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: This soup is fairly simple, so it's important to season it to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the soup reaches your desired flavor.
  • Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers: This soup is delicious served with crusty bread or crackers. It's also a great soup to serve with a salad.

Conclusion:

Stilton and broccoli soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. This soup is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try.
