It’s creamy, dreamy, and just the kind of dish that makes you want to throw on your coziest sweater and huddle in a blanket. Let’s do this!
Broccoli and Stilton Soup
This soup is so good, it might just make you question why you ever ate anything else! And let’s face it, who doesn’t want to sip on something that feels like a warm hug on a chilly day?
Ingredients
To whip up this creamy concoction, you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 liter of vegetable stock (or chicken stock if you’re feeling adventurous)
- 300g fresh broccoli, chopped into florets
- 150g Stilton cheese, crumbled (or more if you’re a cheese enthusiast!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A splash of cream (optional, but let’s be real, it’s delicious)
Instructions
Now, for the fun part—let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to get your soup on:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent; this usually takes about 5 minutes. Don’t let it brown, or it’ll have a tantrum!
- Stir in the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Your kitchen should now smell like a cozy Italian restaurant – no reservations needed!
- Add the vegetable stock and bring it to a gentle boil. Toss in the broccoli florets and let them simmer for about 10 minutes until tender but still giving you the death stare (you know they’re still alive).
- Remove the pot from heat. Grab your trusty immersion blender (or a regular blender—no judgment here!) and blend that soup until it’s smooth and creamy. If you’re feeling bold, leave a few chunks for texture!
- Return the pot to the stove, and stir in the crumbled Stilton until it melts into that glorious green goodness. Add salt and pepper to taste, and for an extra touch of decadence, a splash of cream!
- Serve hot, topped with a sprinkle of extra Stilton and a grin on your face! Enjoy every delicious spoonful while pondering the wonders of broccoli and cheese paired as soulmates in a bowl.
And there you have it! A soup so good you might just want to sip it for breakfast. If this doesn’t scream “comfort food,” what does? Happy cooking!
