How To Make Broccoli And Stilton Soup In Soup Maker​

1. Add Ingredients: Place the onion, celery, leek, potato, stock, and broccoli in the soup maker, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line.
2. Cook Soup: Select the ‘smooth soup’ function on the soup maker and let the cycle complete.
3. Add Stilton: Once the soup is done, season to taste, add most of the Stilton, and blend briefly until it melts into the soup.
4. Serve: Season with black pepper and sprinkle the remaining Stilton on top before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Chop Evenly: Cut the onion, celery, leek, and potato into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly in the soup maker.
• Add Cheese Slowly: Stir in most of the Stilton gradually, allowing it to melt fully. This keeps the soup creamy and avoids clumps.
• Season After Blending: Taste the soup after blending in the Stilton, as the cheese adds saltiness. Adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
• Don’t Overfill Soup Maker: Fill ingredients only to the max line to prevent overflow and ensure a smooth, even blend.

How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Broccoli and Stilton Soup cool to room temperature. Then, put it in a closed container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: If you want to freeze the soup, let it cool completely, then put it in closed containers. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To use it, thaw the soup in the fridge overnight before heating.
• Reheat: Pour the soup into a saucepan and warm it on low to medium heat for about 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
