We had the Waitrose version of this soup while staying with at my aunt's house in the south of England this last winter. The Waitrose version had a surprisingly short list of ingredients - we are usually not the types to eat "pre-made" meals, what with all their nitrites and ridiculous ingredients lists. Anyway, inspired, we decided to make our own.
1 onion, chopped
3 heads of broccoli, floretted.
1 block (about 6 0z) of Gorgonzola (or Stilton or Bleu etc), crumbled
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt, pepper, olive oil to taste
olive oil
4 cups of water/stock - I used my homemade stock
Heat olive oil in a pot on low heat. Add onions. Once they have softened, add broccoli and garlic. Cook for about a minute. Add the water/stock and bring to a boil. Leave to simmer until broccoli is cooked. Remove from heat and add Gorgonzola, stir until it is fully melted/incorporated. Blend in batches. Once all of it is smooth, return the soup to pot and reheat.
SERVE AND EAT. (You can sprinkle a little extra Gorgonzola on the top if you wish and serve with nice, fresh, crusty bread)
