    This is lovely, and I'm not a fan of stilton at all! I've just made this; I started by only adding 50g of the cheese then bit by bit ended up with the whole 100g! Lovely! I added some double cream at the end too, and lots of black pepper.

    Being a student, I lacked a blender but utilised the potato masher. It looks quite a bit different from the picture.. it's brown.. but still tastes good. I also realised I had no stock so made some from marmite and mixed herbs with boiling water. Actually worked quite well! Also lacked weighing scales so used a 'chunk' of Stilton... very cheesy. Would make it again.

    It was probably the Marmite that made it go brown-vegetable stock is quite pale. I'm just clearing my freezer for Christmas, so I think I'll use up my frozen broccoli. Has anyone tried it half-and-half with cauliflower?

    I made the recipe with frozen broccoli florets, still came out really well. A very warming and tasty soup. Will be making again.

    donna > I had the same result, boohoo. I think reducing the amount of stock would help. I also thought broccoli was completely overpowered by the stock and the cheese.

    Love this recipe but I use 150g of St Agur (and no potato as they tend to dull the flavour, I feel). The St Agur gives a less aggressive and smoother, much more gentle flavour than the Stilton, for my taste. For those who like it less cheesy, maybe use 100g. Perfectly scrummy and perfectly wholesome for this horrible climate that we're currently experiencing! Bon Apetite!

    Really enjoyed this recipe even though i'm not a massive fan of broccoli... Maybe the texture rather than the actual taste it seems! Anyway, i used St Agur instead of Stilton and it is amazing! Really like this recipe and is so easy to make too! perfect for lunches in these wintery times!

    An impressive flavoursome soup for anyone who loves blue cheese. Once liquidised it turns into a nice thick consistency (I used a big baking potato) and retains its bright green colour. I always make double quantity!

    It is a good soup, however it is far too thick in consistency. It just needs thinning out with a little vegetable stock
