Broccoli and Stilton Soup Ingredients Notes

The ingredients for making Broccoli and Stilton Soup laid out in bowls on a white counter top.
  • Broccoli – You can use fresh or frozen
  • Onion – Again, fresh or frozen is fine
  • Garlic – However you use garlic (frozen, fresh or jar etc)
  • Stock – You can use vegetable or chicken stock in this recipe, depending on your preference. If you like a thinner soup, add slightly more, or less for a thicker heartier version. I like Marigold Boullion Powder.
  • Milk – Semi-skimmed or whole milk is fine
  • Stilton cheese – This usually comes in a 200g block, so use about 160g for the soup, and 40g can be grated and shared on top of each portion
  • Season – Don’t forget to add plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Storing & reheating

In the fridge This can be cooked and kept in an airtight container for 3 days in the fridge.

This is a perfect make-ahead or batch cook recipe. It just needs reheating on the hob until warmed through before serving.

In the freezer You can also freeze the soup in a well sealed container for 3 months. You should defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat thoroughly OR reheat from frozen in a saucepan or in the microwave. Freeze it into single portions for a quick grab-and-go meal!

FAQs

What should I serve with Broccoli and Stilton Cheese Soup?

Enjoy this with some chunky bread, or with a sandwich or cheese on toast. (How about my no knead bread?)

Do I need to use a blender for this creamy broccoli soup recipe?

Honestly? Yes. I think you do. You could mash everything when it’s well cooked, but you just aren’t going to get that smooth soft soup texture we are looking for.

Any hand blender, food processor or similar will work.

Can I use any brand of Stilton Cheese?

Yes, you can use any you like. The rich, tangy flavour works with the earthy taste of broccoli SO well.
