Ingredients

800 g Broccoli Fresh or frozen
1 Onion Peeled and chopped
2 Garlic cloves Peeled and crushed
750 ml Stock See notes
300 ml Milk
160 g Stilton cheese Grated or crumbled

To serve:

40 g Stilton cheese Shared between bowls, crumbled on top
Croutons To serve, optional

Instructions

On the hob:

Wash and chop the broccoli into large chunks. Finely slice your onion and crush the garlic. (If you’re using frozen, simply put everything in the pan.)
Put the broccoli, onions, garlic, stock and plenty of salt and pepper into a large saucepan.
Bring to the boil with the lid on and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are just cooked through.
Remove from the heat. Add the milk and Stilton and blend until smooth.
Heat through again before serving if needed and top with the remaining cheese and croutons if using.

For the slow cook:

Add the broccoli, onion, garlic and stock into your slow cooker pan and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours.
Add the milk, 160g Stilton cheese and blend until smooth.
Serve immediately, or if you'd like it a little hotter, continue to cook for 15 - 30 minutes on high.

Notes

Vegetables: Either fresh or frozen is fine to use

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.
