Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 leek, trimmed and thinly sliced

1 large baking potato, peeled and cubed

650ml vegetable stock, made with 1 stock cube

1 large head of broccoli (discard the stem), cut into florets

100g reduced-fat crème fraîche

120g Stilton

Method

1
Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for another 2 minutes.
2
Add the potato and stock, and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook for 5 minutes, until tender.
3
Using a processor or hand-held blender, whizz the soup until smooth and creamy; it will still be hot, so be careful.
4
Stir in the crème fraîche and heat the soup through again. To serve, crumble over the Stilton and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
