Answer 2

I don't have any quantities as I just sort of 'guess' but I'll tell you what I do anyway. Dice an onion and fry gently in some oil or butter, whichever you normally use. Add a level tablespoon of plain flour to the saucpan and cook gently with the onion for a minute. Season well with black pepper. Add your broccoli florets to the pot and cover with hot veg stock. Simmer for 15 minutes. When the broccoli is well cooked, remove from heat, add in a couple of handfulls of crumbled stilton and stir in well. When it has cooled, blend the contents of the saucepan. At this stage I add some milk to make the soup creamy and the right consistency.

That's it really. Happy Christmas !

Answer 4

i make this and just boil and couple of big broccoli erm (what do you call them? sprigs sounds too little?) trees will do you know what i mean lol
then whizz it in a blender with a half pound block of stilton, add some of the water i used to cook the broccoli in till i get the consistency i want
then add salt pepper and double cream to taste,
then add a bit of grated parmasan to serve.
i think a lot of people will use veg stock instead of broccoli water but i dont like it, besides at least then you dont loose the goodnes out of the broccoli.
hope it works out...have a lovely xmas x
