Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2 lb) fresh broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 200 g (1 cup) Stilton cheese, crumbled
  • 25 g (1 ¾ tablespoon) butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 large leek, washed and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 (4 cups) litre vegetable stock
  • 200 ml (1 cup) cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, sliced leek, and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the diced potato to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion mixture.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the pot, and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • Once the broccoli is tender, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the crumbled Stilton cheese and cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a countertop blender in batches, if needed.
  • Return the soup to the heat to warm through, then ladle into bowls to serve.

Notes

  • Cheese Substitute: If you don't have Stilton cheese, substitute with another blue cheese or a sharp cheddar for a different flavour profile.
  • Vegan Option: Replace the butter with a vegan alternative, use a non-dairy cream, and omit the Stilton cheese or use a vegan cheese.
  • Storage: Cool the soup completely before transferring it to airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: If frozen, defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat on the stove or in the microwave until piping hot.
