#414 – Broccoli Blue Cheese Soup Lunch

#414 - Broccoli Blue Cheese Soup

Awhile back Sigrid from Cooking and Eating with Polkadotcupcake and Marisa from The Creative Pot where chatting about Mexican food on Twitter.  Their conversation escalated into a cheese slut confessional and the creation of the #cheeseslut tag. Soon bloggers started coming out of the woodwork (including myself) declaring their love for all things cheesy.  Check out Browniegirl, Cook sister! and My easy cooking for more #cheeseslut posts.

This soup was my contribution to a weekend #cheeseslut cooking challenge and also to Mothers’ Day lunch. I made sure I had some leftover for lunch the next day too though.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Broccoli and blue cheese soup,
  • an avocado sandwich with red pepper and lettuce and
  • an apple.

Here is my recipe for the soup

Ingredients:

  • 1l vegetable stock,
  • 300g broccoli florets,
  • 2 small potatoes peeled and cubed,
  • 125g creamy blue cheese,
  • 125ml milk

Method:

  1. Place vegetable stock, broccoli and potato in a pot, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until potato is tender.
  2. Crumble blue cheese into pot, add milk and blend till smooth.
  3. Serve immediately with warm slices of toasted bread or croutons.
