    This looks like a lovely soup. I wonder why my usual broccoli soups never come such a nice clear green color. Any hints?

    Made a couple of times using Stilton. 1st time added 200ml extra stock as read comments of soup being too thick. 2nd time used 1.5l stock and put all the 100g of cheese into soup before whizzing-much better! Froze well too.

    Really quick and easy to make and delicious. I thought the cheese and broccoli amounts were perfectly balanced. I added a drizzle of olive oil to the top of the soup after I had crumbled in the cheese.

    Super recipe. Neither the broccoli or the Stilton were overpowering. We added a dash of cream and some black pepper. Would definitely cook again.

    Made this a couple of times and found it to be lovely, except the soup wasn't as green as pictured. I think I used a larger amount of broccoli than suggested too. Great recipe though, lovely stilton taste too!

    Made this first time in the Peak District as I got some lovely blue cheese, and it was magnificent...my husband does not like broccoli particularly, and definitely not likes blue cheese, but he could not get enough of this soup...with homemade croutons out of some stone dry piece of bread...is to die for, and so so easy to make!Try it!

    Made this for a quick evening meal. Well it really was very easy and speedy to make. Even better, it was delicious and filling too. Definitely one to keep in the repertoire, especially if I want to use up broccoli lurking in the fridge. If you are looking for a "feel good" soup then I can thoroughly recommend this one. Fantastic colour too.

    Better than any I've tasted in restaurants. I like to add a little grated nutmeg to the recipe.

    Best soup ever - and I didn't have any cheese in the house! Used homemade chicken soup from the roast leftovers (had some carrots in it). Added 2 cloves of chopped garlic to the onion (used continental salad onions - more delicate), also fresh pepper. Mindblowingly tasty and very filling. Cant wait to try with some blue cheese. :)
