Chef tips
To preserve the vibrant green color and the vitamins in the broccoli, it's best to add the Stilton cheese only after blending the soup while it is hot, but not at a rolling boil. For a milder version that's great for kids, swap the Stilton for shredded cheddar cheese and serve with a handful of toasted walnuts on top for extra crunch and a deep flavor.
