- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stick, sliced
- 1 leek, sliced
- 1 medium potato, diced
- 1 head broccoli, roughly chopped
Liquids
- 750ml low salt or homemade chicken or vegetable stock
Cheese
- 140g Stilton, or other blue cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Finely chop the onion, slice the celery and leek, dice the potato, and roughly chop the broccoli to prepare all vegetables for the soup maker.
- Load Soup Maker: Place all the prepared vegetables and the low salt or homemade chicken or vegetable stock into the soup maker, ensuring not to fill above the maximum fill line.
- Cook Soup: Select and press the ‘smooth soup’ function on your soup maker. This will cook and blend the ingredients into a smooth consistency automatically.
- Add Stilton Cheese: Once the cooking cycle is complete, season the soup to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in most of the crumbled Stilton cheese.
- Blend Cheese into Soup: Briefly blend the soup again until the Stilton cheese melts completely, creating a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Serve: Season with additional black pepper if desired, and garnish the soup with the reserved crumbled Stilton on top before serving.
Notes
- Ensure not to exceed the maximum fill line of your soup maker to avoid overflow or malfunction.
- You can substitute Stilton with another blue cheese if preferred, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola.
- Adjust seasoning carefully as Stilton cheese is naturally salty.
- Use low salt stock to better control the sodium level in the soup.
- This soup can be served with crusty bread or croutons for added texture.
