Notes
- Cheese - Stilton is the perfect cheese for this soup with its rich mellow flavour and creamy smooth texture. If you cannot find it use another blue cheese such as dolce gorgonzola or roquefort using half the amount of cheese (225g/1 cup), as these cheeses are stronger than stilton. You could also use mature cheddar cheese.

- Seasoning - There is no need to add salt to the recipe as the salt in the cheese is sufficient for this soup. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper before serving (optional).
- Storing - Broccoli cheese soup can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It also freezes well so pour into into a container that seals well or freezer bag, seal securely and label. For best flavour use within 30 days.
