    Mmm yummy... made this soup last night and its really easy to make, followed the recipe exactly and produced a lovely soup first time. Just had it for lunch and it has thickened up some more so may use a bit more stock next time..

    Incredibly easy to make. Kept it in the fridge for a couple of days and the flavour seemed to improve.

    Usually i make this soup with Stilton, but seeing as i only had Gorganzola in the fridge i used that instead. it was delicous! i didnt have problem with the consistency as i dont have a blender at uni, so I mashed it! either way it was delicious and it kept well in the fridge! Its a firm favourite with me!

    I'm not keen on blue cheese but this tasted great. I didn't add the extra cheese on top because I felt that cheese in the soup was enough. My husband whose more of a cheese fan crumbled the cheese on top and he loved it!

    A bit high in fat with the blue cheese, but nonetheless a great, tasty recipe and easy to make.

    Really tasty and consitancy is good. Perfect for lunch with some sundried tomato bread on the side. I made double the quantity to freeze and came out fine.

    this was super easy to make - I used dolcelatte and a random amount of broccoli and it was delicious. I would recommend to anyone to follow the recipe quantities and then add blue cheese gradually to taste, since whatever blue cheese you get will vary in strength and so will your taste. Only crumbled a little over the top - liquidized most of it into the soup.

    Made as a starter, so was quite glad when it turned out a little too thin - Used Feta cheese aswell as blue (half/half). Nice light soup went down really well. Will definatley try again.

    Christmas is over, too much stilton in the fridge & a head of broccoli that didnt get used, so made this!! Absolutely delicious, only change I made was to use an extra half litre of stock as I dont like my soup overly thick, also added some freshly ground black pepper, lovely.

    Very easy to make and I enjoyed it immensely. I used Danish Blue instead of Stilton - only a small quantity and this worked well. I shall definitely make this again.
