Chef tips
To keep that vibrant green colour and preserve the broccoli's vitamins, add the Stilton only after the soup is blended and hot, but not bubbling away at a rolling boil. For a gentler flavour that children will love, try swapping the Stilton for grated cheddar and serving with a handful of toasted walnuts for a lovely crunch and depth of flavour.
