    A tasty Christmas Starter, everyone enjoyed it and it was so easy to do, made it Christmas Eve and put it in the slow cooker the follwing morning to warm through. My mom enjoyed it so much she's made it since!!

    Gorgeous and just what the post Christmas doctor ordered. I used the stem of the broccoli (the bit we normally throw away!) adding it from the start as it takes longer to soften. I added a few florets 5 minutes before the end. A super way to use up the otherwise discarded stem which is both tasty and full of nutrients. Happy New Year

    Simple and quick, tastes lovely! I replaced the onion with leeks and used the stalks of the broccoli giving this part a little more cooking time. I crumbled a little more Stilton than stated in recipe before blending making this wonderfully creamy. I also added more stock towards the end as slightly too thick with one litre of stock. Would definitely be a good soup to make a day in advance.

    Delicious, used leek instead of onion and didn't crumble more stilton on top, was creamy enough without the additional.

    One word.....: DELICIOUS!!!! This was so easy to make and it freezes well too! I didn't bother with sprinkling the cheese on top, if you like Stilton just throw it all in prior to blending! In fact, I am off to make another batch I think!!

    I used frozen broccoli and it was a little too thin. If you're using frozen broccoli it probably needs less stock. Delicious though.

    This was so easy & quick - used leftover stilton from Xmas that was about to walk out of the fridge! Also used stalk of broccoli & put in with potatoes. Good way to get the kids to eat their greens too!

    Really lovely soup, ideal for cold miserable winter days lunch. I used butter instead of olive oil which did make it richer in flavour. Definately recommend it though even if you are not the keenest of cooks. Very simple recipe
