Broccoli Cheese Soup

This 20 minute low-carb broccoli & stilton cheese soup is creamy and delicious, it is wonderful comfort food for winter, and perfect as a starter or a light meal.

This broccoli cheese soup is wonderful for those cold, chilly days.

The cheese

Stilton is the perfect cheese for this soup with its rich and mellow flavour and creamy smooth texture. However, if you do not have it to hand, you could use another blue cheese such as gorgonzola or roquefort, but use half the amount of cheese (1 cup), as these cheeses are stronger than stilton.

The broccoli

Frozen broccoli works well here. Keeping some in the freezer is a cheap and convenient way of making sure that you can make this soup anytime!

How to make it

• In a medium saucepan, sauté the onions in oil till soft.
• Add the garlic and thyme and sauté for 1 minute, then add the frozen broccoli.
• Pour in the water and crumble in the cheese and bring to a boil.
• Cover and simmer on a low flame for 5 minutes.
• Blend using a hand blender, add freshly milled black pepper and serve with warm bread.

Note: There is no need to add salt to the recipe as the salt in the cheese is sufficient for this soup.

How to store it

This soup can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

It also freezes well.
