Broccoli, potato and stilton soup
Serves 6 + glutenfree

This is a real winter warmer. If you find stilton is a little too strong for you use dolcelatte or gorganzola instead.

For a really English soup omit the broccoli and replace it with a little more potato - leave it chunky!

50ml (¼ cup) Olive oil
50g Butter
1 onion
1 clove garlic
2 medium potatoes
200g broccoli
1 litre vegetable stock
(or veg bouillion in water)
100g stilton cheese
50ml whipping cream
Salt and pepper.
In a large pan saute the garlic and onion in the butter until soft and only just starting to brown. Add the chopped potato and saute for a few more minutes. Add the veg stock and simmer until the poatoes are just tender(about 15-20minutes). Add the broccoli and the cream and simmer for about another ten minutes. Stir in the stilton and take off the heat. Season, cool and whizz up in a jug blender.

Alternatively you could cut the potatoes quite small, Cut the broccoli into florets and then serve the soup chunky and rustic.
