BROCCOLI AND STILTON SOUP
I use frozen broccoli; actually, frozen organic broccoli, if that makes you feel better. In fact, this is better when made with frozen, and certainly more convenient for an impromptu standby.
Recipe posted by Nigella
Ingredients
- 3 x 15ml tablespoons garlic oil
- 6 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1kg frozen broccoli
- 1250ml hot vegetable stock (from concentrate or cube)
- 200g crumbled or chopped Stilton
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 long red chilli pepper, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
Method
Serves: 4 as main, 8 as starter
- Put the garlic oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add the chopped spring onions and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the thyme and the frozen broccoli, and stir in the heat for a minute or so.
- Add the hot vegetable stock and the crumbled or chopped Stilton and bring to a bubble, then clamp on the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
- Liquidize in a blender (or failing that a processor) - in batches - then pour back in the pan and heat if it's cooled too much while blending, and add pepper to taste.
- Scatter with a Christmas confetti of red chilli dice on serving, if you feel like it.

I made this stunnigly delicious, quick and simple soup using fresh broccoli and cauliflower and roquefort cheese. I also added some onions fried in butter with a bit of curry. My family loved it!
