Description
Jamie Oliver’s Broccoli and Stilton Soup is a creamy vegetable soup featuring fresh broccoli and crumbled Stilton cheese. The soup is cooked until tender, blended until smooth, and enriched with the tangy flavors of blue cheese, making it a satisfying and flavorful dish.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 1-liter vegetable or chicken stock
- 150g Stilton cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped broccoli and diced potato to the pot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock, making sure the vegetables are just covered. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and potato are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
Stir in the crumbled Stilton cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread on the side.
