Broccoli And Stilton Soup Reviews

• Fantastic and simple. You really have to be a fan of blue cheese to like this. I added a minced clove of garlic about 30 seconds before adding the vegetables. Dont forget to season with salt and pepper. When adding the cheese, I added a dash of red pepper flakes to give it a little bite. It was perfect. Must have some chewy, crusty bread to dip with. Fantastic Thanks.

• What attracted me first to the recipe was the lack of cream. It is quick, simple, elegant, and very tasty. My husband loved the recipe, and I plan to pass this one onto my mother-in-law. I served each heaping bowl with a few exgra crumbles of the cheese on top as garnish.

• YUM YUM YUM I have been pining for 9 years for the soup I fell in love with while studying abroad in Cambridge, England, so I was so shocked and happy to find a broccoli & stilton soup recipe here. When I started making it, I was worried that I had built it up too much in my head, and I didnt want to be disappointed.I WASNTThis is a great recipe. I made it exactly as stated, but I think maybe the potatoes I used were a little big, because it came out a bit thick. I just added another cup of broth, and it was awesome. I served it with french bread and butter. Simple and perfect This recipe didnt even need extra salt & pepper.

• My husband went nuts when he tasted this He cant stop eating it. I added garlic and an extra can of chicken broth because it was very thick. I also added extra stilton---just because I love it.I am going to make this for my gourmet New Years Eve dinner I am making for friends.

• I thought this soup was great. I love blue cheese (and HATE broccoli), and I had some broccoli in the fridge to use up, so I thought Id try it out. I added some celery, garlic, and cauliflower, and seasoned with white and black pepper. It was fantastic. My husband liked it too. Ill definitely make this again Did I mention that I hate broccoli?

• I fell in love with this soup when I went home to England to visit family and have been searching for my own recipe since. I added another cup of chicken stock and halved the cheese, it was perfect.

• This is a hearty vegetable soup that is also tasty thanks to the excellent blue cheese. It can be slightly bland if your eating it as an entree though. Adding a whole red bell pepper (makes it a little sweeter and more colorful) and a tablespoon finely chopped garlic with the veggies, and the red pepper flakes will give it that extra bite. I have also been known to add an ounce or two more stilton than the original recipe calls for. I even substituted vege broth for the chicken broth and made it for my vegetarian friends, though you have to add a bit of salt and pepper to make up for the difference. Overall a great recipe and a great soup

• First time we have ever tried using Stilton cheese and we just didnt like it at all. The flavor was off and wasnt what we expected. Yuck

• This was a nice warm soup on a cold and rainy Saturday. This soup is low in calories as it does not contain any cream - it uses chicken stock instead. When the soup was done cooling a bit I used my immersion blender because I wanted some chunks left in the soup. I couldnt find stilton cheese so I used bleu cheese in mine and feta cheese in my husbands. We both enjoyed the soup. A great way to use up a bunch of broccoli. Thanks for sharing.

• This was a very tasty recipe althought next time I make it I will put more stilton in. Thats is just being picky though - well worth a try - very authenic.

• A very quick and tasty soup. Excellent.

• I hate giving bad reviews...but this needs one. I love stilton cheese and this sounded good......but I really dont like it at all. Im in the kitchen now trying to come up with something to make this taste good.

• Great soup, I usually double the broth and blue cheese and use 3 potatoes. I do not blend the soup.

• Bit too greasy tasting with that amount of Stilton but will make again with a little less cheese.

• Excellent soup, wasnt sure what taste waas going to be, but loved it

• Eh. It was really hard to rate this one because I dont know what I was expecting. Its not good but not bad either. I couldnt find stilton cheese, so I used blue cheese. If I were to make it again, I think I would add more veggies (cauliflower, carrots, squash, etc) and not use nearly as much cheese. Or maybe not as much blue cheese and add some parmesan or something.

• Made this the other night. Very easy, very quick. Like a few others I added some garlic to the mix before the stock went in. To make it a bit more chunky I used a potato masher rather than blender and the results were excellent. Very nice recipe, thx Anronicky. :)

• This has become a real favorite of mine. And if I dont have enough broccoli, Ive added carrots and cauliflower and its great.

• I love that there is no cream in this recipe It tasted great, practically licked the bowl clean. We did add more cheese but only because we love cheese

• This is more or less on the nose - however it needs a little more stilton and maybe a swirl of cream before serving

• I made this with some really stinky English stilton (I love that stuff). Apart from adding a little more broth, I pretty much made this as written. It was good but I still prefer Stilton and cauliflower soup. Thanks

• We liked this soup, made only hours ago, and will have it again. It is perfect for a cold, wintery day. Even people who dont care for bleu cheese will find this recipe an exception.

• I slightly changed the recipe by adding 3 extra ounces of Stilton plus garlic, salt, pepper and dried mixed herbs. I also used only two cups of chicken broth and added two cups of veg stock instead because I was worried the soup would taste too chickeny. I was very pleased with my soup. It tastes great

• Had to try this recipe after it came to my inbox. I didnt see any reviews stating they did not puree the soup so i thought i would try it just for the sake of simplicity. It was good but much better pureed. I also add a bit of red pepper flakes and some stilton crumbles on top. It would also taste good with bacon crumbles which i will try next time we make this.

• I made this with broccoli stems (peeled & diced small) instead of the florets. I halved the recipe, and added a clove of garlic, minced, at the same time as the onions. After simmering, I pureed the veggies & broth in a blender, and strained back into the pot, then reheated & added the cheese. It was delicious You can easily taste the Stilton even though not a lot is used. (Love, love love Stilton)

• I love stilton, but it does have a very strong flavor and this was a bit too much.

• What a huge disappointment. Sounded good in theory but consistency was not to my liking and the taste "needs something" but I couldnt figure out.

• I ended up changing this recipe because I didnt have blue cheese, there wasnt enough broccoli for us and I didnt use the oil to saute the onion. But it was the start of my own recipe which I am submitting to allrecipes.com next.

• Nice filling soup. Some may want to add more stilton for a stronger flavor, but I liked it as is. Definately needs added pepper and perhaps salt.

• I first tried this soup a few Christmases ago my auntie made it and I loved it. I made the soup the other day and it was absolutely amazing and simple. my favourite soup by far :)

• This soup is very hearty and filling for a low calorie option. Not a huge fan of stilton, so I substituted sharp cheddar. Also used vegetable stock to make it for my vegetarian friends. We love it

• Ive made this twice in the past two weeks and it was exceptional . I cant stop eating it. My husband loved it also. Thank you.

• I doubled the portion to freeze for work dinners I added a extra onion and 2 ounces extra cheese gives it a bit more Stilton flavour

• The soup was excellent all our family and friends agree

• This is absolutely the best tasting broccoli soup I have ever eaten. The blue Stilton I bought from igourmet.com made this soup out of this world good.
