    This broccoli cheese soup is rich and nutty (due to the stilton – no nuts are used in this recipe). It is hearty, super comforting and absolutely perfect for a cold, chilly evening.

    Impress your guests with this delicious soup as an easy starter and if you have any leftover, heat it up the next day for an easy quick dinner!

    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 dolce gorgonzola or roquefort, but use half the amount of cheese (225 grams, 8 ounces, or 1 cup of crumbled cheese), as these other cheeses are stronger in flavour than stilton.

    Broccoli

    Frozen broccoli is an easy option for this soup but you could also justa as easily use fresh broccoli.

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

    How its made

    • 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.

    Storing

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

    It also freezes well so pour into into a container that seals well or a freezer bag, label and seal securely.

    To reheat, defrost in the fridge over night or on the counter then warm in a saucepan on low heat.

      Yumm! Just like having Panera in your own house – but probably healthier if you make it like this!
