I want to try making this but there seems to be dozens of variations on the theme.

Unless anybody can recommend an alternative, I intend trying the recipe below:

Broccoli and Blue Stilton soup

Ingredients

* 25g butter
* 1 small onion, diced
* 450g broccoli
* 500ml chicken or vegetable stock
* 100g Stilton cheese
* 150ml single cream

Method

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes.

2. Finely chop the broccoli florets and stems, reserving a couple of unchopped broccoli florets to decorate.

3. Add all the broccoli to the onion plus the chicken stock and bring to the boil.

4. Boil for 5 minutes.

5. Remove the broccoli florets for garnish, then blend the rest with the stock until very finely chopped.

6. Crumble the Stilton, reserving a few crumbles to garnish the soup.

7. Add the Stilton to the soup and whizz briefly.

8. Stir in the cream and heat gently, but do not boil.

9. Season to taste.

10. Garnish with the broccoli florets and a few crumbles of Stilton.
