Whilst this tastes fine, I wouldn't rave about it and probably won't bother to make again. It did, however, result in a more open-minded attitude to blue cheese (which I had previously avoided) which have this a nice creaminess.

Forgot the stars!

Gorgeous!
I'm just making my 2nd batch this week. I use maybe a head and half of broccoli but no stalk and it comes out lovely and thick.
Really does taste amazing and I don't like blue cheese in its own.
Thank you!

This soup is HEAVEN!!!!! you HAVE to make it :)

This is delicious! I didn't use the celery, but added some fresh dill instead at the end of cooking and also used a different kind of blue cheese, but it just tastes yummy!

cant get enough of this soup on a cold day .... delicious and soooo tasty. even the cheese-aversive boyfriend likes it (though he wont eat a full portion now he knows it has blue cheese in!)

Beautiful soup, I didn't add the celery, easy recipe and very tasty.

Just made this and it really was lovely. I thought it might be a bit watery when I was boiling the veg but it really thickened up with the brocolli. Might just use a tad less stock next time.
If you dont like stilton don't let this put you off as you get nothing of the strong taste - my OH said he couldnt tell Stilton was in it.
Ideal dinner party starter. You can make right up to blending it then just reheat and drop your stilton in. Yum.

Made this last night and it was beautiful...I did add a tiny bit more salt as I had used more water and felt I needed a little bit more flavour. I also used Gorgonzola instead of Stilton and a cup of light cooking cream. Perfect for cold nights.

Delicious, although left out the cheese.Will make again

We made it today, as per the recipe but with cauliflower instead of broccoli, and it tastes great. Better than most restaurants. The Stilton taste is not too strong. The soup tasted smooth and creamy despite not having any cream in it. A good soup for anybody wishing to avoid adding cream to get a smooth texture. Will now be a regular menu item in our house.

I dont personally like stilton but thought id give it a go. About to make it again for my nan amd other half cany wait. Yum yum

Straightforward recipe with great results. I used two leeks as am not a fan of celery and the end result was a light delicious soup which felt as nourishing as it looked.

This was a lovely warming soup with flavour. Just loved the stilton addition and it looks so good too. Great to make in batches with the cheese left over from parties. Yummy

Easy, cheap and straight forward to make, flavours balance each other out tasting neither too much like broccoli or blue cheese. Will now be a staple meal. Nice one!

Excellent. Texture is perfect; silky & scoopable. I didn't find it watery at all thanks to the potato. I used homemade chicken stock, and I also used most of the broccoli stalk, chopped small, no need to waste it - it can all go in a soup. I had less than half the stilton required in the fridge but it was absolutely fine (I love stilton though so recommend using all of it if you can!). I used a bayleaf during cooking, think it makes a difference.

I have made this soup many times, it is in fact my husband's favourite despite the fact that he doesn't really like cheese, and he wouldn't normally dream of eating blue cheese. I sometimes use Danish blue instead of stilton, which I find to be even creamier and have also tried the recipe using garlic and herb cream cheese which is also gorgeous. So easy and delicious. I served this at a dinner party recently and it was a great hit!

I also added some spinach which made it a vivid green.

I forgot the knob of butter, and I didn't have a leak, I used 2 sticks of celery and I had no stilton so used a bit of very strong cheddar, a bit of gryere, some port salut and some roule!

Very very tasty, just a little bit stringy from the broccoli stalk I think.

I have made this soup on several occasions now, it has gone down well with everyone that has tasted the soup.
