🧂 Ingredients

  • Rapeseed Oil 2 tblsp
  • Onion 1 finely chopped
  • Celery 1
  • Leek 1 sliced
  • Potatoes 1 medium
  • Butter 1 knob
  • Vegetable Stock 1 litre hot

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Heat the rapeseed oil in a large saucepan and then add the onions. Cook on a medium heat until soft. Add a splash of water if the onions start to catch. Add the celery, leek, potato and a knob of butter. Stir until melted, then cover with a lid. Allow to sweat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid. Pour in the stock and add any chunky bits of broccoli stalk. Cook for 10 – 15 minutes until all the vegetables are soft. Add the rest of the broccoli and cook for a further 5 minutes. Carefully transfer to a blender and blitz until smooth. Stir in the stilton, allowing a few lumps to remain. Season with black pepper and serve.
