Ingredients

15 mL olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 heads of broccoli, florets and stems chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 liter chicken stock
115 grams Stilton cheese

Directions

Step 1
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the broccoli and potatoes, and cook until the vegetables start to release their juices, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender, around 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Stir in the Stilton cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 3
Purée the soup using an immersion blender, or transfer it in batches to a blender or food processor to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
