Broccoli Soup with Cheese

Ingredients

• 1lb Broccoli, washed and trimmed. Separate the florets, peel the stem and chop
• 2oz Butter
• One Onion, peeled and chopped
• 8oz Potatoes, scrubbed and chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves, peeled and minced
• 4 cups of Vegetable or Chicken stock
• 1tbs Lemon Juice
• 3/4 cup milk
• 4oz Blue cheese (or any cheese you fancy)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the onion, potato and garlic. Saute gently for around 5 minutes. Stir in the broccoli florets and stem. Add the stock and lemon juice. Bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for around 15 minutes till the vegetables are tender. Blend and add the milk if you'd like a thinner soup. Crumble in the cheese and season to taste. Reheat gently without bringing to the boil.
