    I use Yorkshire Blue, or cambazola would do. Slightly milder taste and gives soup a lovely creamy texture. Yumm

    It's GREAT recipe: nice to look at (green), esp good when you look for recipes containing anti-cancer ingredients (broccoli). I'm not very good cook but this one easy peasy to make. Additionally, you can turn it into so many other options simply using something else than broccoli.

    The mountain range I can see in my home in southern france looks like it's being swallowed by clouds, it's beautiful - but it will be much more beautiful with a bowl of that luscious soup and the local cruty, rustic bread - mmmmmmmm

    This soup was really easy to make. I put all the cheese in the soup as 3 of us weren't great fans of blue cheese so didn't think we would be able to eat chunks of it. The smell of the cheese was much much stronger than the actual taste. Next time I'd probably cut down on the cheese. I also couldn't get hold of fresh broccoli so used frozen and just put it in earlier. It still worked well but the colour was a bit compromised.

    I added a little bacon in at the same time as onion to give the soup more flavour!

    Mmmmmm, just finished eating this, was so nice me and friend finished it all off between the 2 of us. I would change only one thing, I used form d'aumbert instead of Stilton and only half the required amount. The flavour of cheese was alot more subtle, just a hint of it - thanks so much for putting this on the site! I am vegetarian, it's really hard to find nice food, especially in France where I live. :)

    first time I have made this one and it was lovely. I loved the blue cheese flavour with the broccoli. I found the consistancy was just right too.
