Broccoli & Stilton Soup Recipe

I made this soup on the request of my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary. She is English and said she hadn’t had it since living in the UK, 13 years ago.

All I knew was that it was a broccoli & Stilton soup she wanted. I improvised and she loved it! Not sure if I was true to tradition but that really doesn’t matter. Food is about enjoyment and we both enjoyed it immensely. Hope you do too. Happy anniversary Julie!

Cuisine British
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 liter chicken stock or vegetable stock, if using store bought liquid stock, use the low salt variety
  • 2 medium heads of broccoli roughly chopped, (do not use the main stalk)
  • 2 brown onions
  • 3 clove garlic
  • 35 grams butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 125 grams Stilton cheese or your own favorite blue cheese
  • 300 milliliters cream fresh

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium high heat.
  • Add the olive oil & onion.
  • Sauté about 2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté a further 3-5 minutes (do not let the onion or garlic color, you only want to soften it).
  • Add the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Add the broccoli and cream.
  • Return to the boil.
  • Reduce to a slow rolling boil
  • Add half of the cheese
  • Cook like this uncovered for about 20 minutes.
  • Once the broccoli is soft, remove the pot from the heat and blend using a stick blender or other blender.
  • Strain the soup through a medium grade strainer, pushing it through with a spoon (this step is optional but it will make a smoother soup).
  • Return the soup to the pot and place it over a low flame.
  • Taste the soup for cheese strength and add more if desired (I added all the 125 grams).
  • Taste the soup for seasoning and adjust as desired.
  • Optionally garnish with some crumbled cheese if you have some left. Enjoy!
  • Note: The recipe serves 6 as a first course, or 4 as a main.
