Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Chop the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into small florets and dice the onion. Mince the garlic for added flavor.
Cook the Soup:
- Heat the olive oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes to coat them in the flavors.
- Pour in the stock: Add the vegetable stock, ensuring the broccoli is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
Blend and Add Cheese:
- Blend the soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
- Add the Stilton cheese: Stir in the crumbled Stilton until it melts into the soup. For extra richness, add the heavy cream and mix well.
Season and Serve:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with croutons or fresh parsley.
