The Lady Aga’s Broccoli and Castello Blue Soup
I made this as my local Waitrose had Packs of broccoli for 19 pence each! Bargain! I do tend to cook what is reduced, this is OK as long as you cook it or freeze it straight away!
TAKES 15 MINUTES
SERVES 4 TO SIX
APPROXIMATE COST £2.00 TO £4.00 depending on cost and choice of ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
500 grms broccoli trim and separate florets.
2 large potatoes peeled and cut into small pieces.
1 onion peeled and roughly chopped.
100 grms of blue cheese (I don’t use stilton as it can be too strong)
150 mls of chicken stock or vegetable stock, cubes are easy!
Salt ground black pepper (salt according to how strong the cheese is taste first)
150 mls of milk
Little dollop of Philadelphia to serve (optional)
HOW WE MAKE THIS GEM
Boil the onions and potatoes and thick part of the broccoli stalks in just enough water/stock to cover.
Boil for 10 minutes then add the broccoli florets, don’t add anymore water cover pan with lid and the broccoli will steam.
Steam for about 5 minutes add cheese pepper.
Remove from heat and blend with a hand held blender till smooth.
Add milk and salt according to taste and preferred consistency.
T0 serve add a dollop of Philadelphia and chunk of crusty bread to dip in!
For a little twist
Add a dash of balsamic vinegar
Cream instead of Philadelphia to serve.
ENJOY
