Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 30 grams butter
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 chopped celery stalks
- 1000 ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 150 grams Stilton cheese
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
- 0 optional, for garnish fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Chop the broccoli into smaller florets and set aside, including the stalks which should be peeled and sliced.
Step 2
In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the broccoli florets and sliced stalks to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the butter.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the soup to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. Alternatively, if using a countertop blender, blend in batches for safety.
Step 6
Return the pot to low heat and crumble in the Stilton cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted into the soup.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Increase the heat slightly and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the soup is heated through.
Step 9
Once the soup is hot and creamy, it's ready to serve. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley to add a pop of color.
Step 10
Ladle the soup into bowls, serve hot, and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal.
