  I made this recipe today after Christmas with broccoli that needed using up and it was lovely to have with crusty bread after heavy christmas food! I just added a little double cream at the end to make it creamy. Mmm Lovely!

  this is a nice simple-to-make soup ... however, i only used half of the suggested amount of blue cheese as i didn't want the broccoli taste overpowered by the cheese flavour.

  That soup is delicious!! I used to buy Tescos Broccoli and Stilton soup but they changed the recipe and it didn't taste so good. This soup is miles better. Thanks.

  This soup was really tasty, i didnt use as much stilton as suggested - i put more into the actual soup - approx 70gms but didnt crumble any over it at the end as i'm not a great lover of stilton!

  Initially I was worried that there wasn't enough stock and I did think it would be thicker....but it was simple and delicious and worth giving it a go - even if you're not a fan of blue cheese like me!

  My husband made this soup last night, he used 420g of broccoli instead of the 300g and as I don't like blue cheese, so we used about 125g of west country brie instead. 3/4 of it was mixed with the soup and the rest chopped as a garnish on top. It was lovely. Very rich though. Even my 3 year old loved it!!! Will definately make it again!!!! Served with some nice tiger bread.

  We made it with Roquefort cheese because that was available in a small portion. It was beautiful, much tastier than we expected.

  Easy to make. Finished up too thick in consistency. The smell and flavour of the cheese overpowered the broccoli. Would use more stock and less cheese if I make it again.
