This deliciously creamy soup can also be made with frozen broccoli instead of fresh.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 leek, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 potato, peeled and cubed
- 650ml vegetable stock, made with 1 stock cube
- 1 broccoli, cut into florets
- 100g creme fraiche
- 120g stilton
Directions
1
Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for another 2 minutes.
2
Add the potato and stock, and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook for 5 minutes, until tender.
3
Using a processor or hand-held blender, whizz the soup until smooth and creamy; it will still be hot, so be careful.
4
Stir in the creme fraiche and heat the soup through again. To serve, crumble over the Stilton and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
