Hi, broccoli and cheese soup recipes anyone?

Rikki

There was a broccoli and stilton soup recipe on this morning yesterday. CLICK HERE

Any good?

I'm not sure of the recipe you mention but I make broc and stilton soup regularly. Chop and fry an onion add vegetable stock and broc florets then cook until tender. Once cooked I whiz with a hand blender and crumble in stilton and heat through - delicious. I guess if you don't have stilton you could use another cheese sometimes I use low calorie soft cheese stirred in and melted.

Happy cooking.

I made broccolli and stilton soup at the weekend,

3 potatoes + handfull of broccolli, simmer in water to cover until tender, add about 4-6 oz crumbled stilton and about 4fl oz single cream. Season to taste.

Thanks for those recipes, I will certainly give them a try. What I was really looking for was a way to use up the broccoli stalks - I am not sure if they need treated differently to the florets as they are tougher .

Someone mentioned MrsM had a recipe and I know how good her other recipes are so ... maybe I'll just PM her.

Thanks

I chuck in the whole head of broccoli - florets and all the stem (chopped up). I simmer until the lot is tender, blitz and add the cheese

I think there's an existing thread that I'll merge this one to

I picked up the latest checkout magazine at Asda tonight (free). It has a recipe for broccoli and cheese soup - and it uses the stems. It says to thinly slice the stems then just add it to the stock with the florets and potato. It's all whizzed at the end. So there you go - get "thinly slicing"!

i have never made broccoli and stilton soup as the recipes i have seem very complicated. but having read here it seems really easy - i will be looking for cheap broccoli this week ( and freezing stalks when cooking broccoli as a vegatable from now on (till i get enough for another batch) need to get my mum freezing stalks too.

I always make broccoli soup with half a tub of philadelphia stirred in at the end and its lovely and creamy

Want to make a Stilton and Broccoli Soup (bought my Stilton and Broccoli).

Got a Nigella recipe (from Nigella Bites).

Loads on the Internet when you google.

Anyone care to recommend one?
Not too green if possible:o:rotfl:
