was going to try and make some on christmas day can anyone recommend a recipe, i've looked on the internet and there are quite a few varibles... was wondering if anyone had any tried and tested recipies?

I have not made any in at least 3 years now so I cannot be of much use there.

It is easy to spend too much time looking though.

When you decide, can you pop some in the post for me.

I am barely allowed in the kitchen anymore.... sobs....

Good Luck antway.

Another soup thread... I'm so happy!!!

I think that the one with blue cheese and the brassica type vegetable in it is quite nice.

I use this recipe and it was the best we have tried.

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
½ onion, sliced
30g/1oz butter
1 handful grated potato
290ml/½ pint vegetable stock
½ head broccoli, chopped
75g/3oz stilton, cubed
85ml/3fl oz double cream
1 tsp thyme, chopped



Method
1. Sauté the garlic and onion in the butter and oil for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the potato and stock and simmer for 7-8 minutes until the potato is tender.
3. Add all the other ingredients and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. Blend the soup in a food processor.
5. Pour into a bowl and serve.

or this one sounds good.

thank you for the suggestions, since i've never made any before i think i'll do a trial run of owldlad's recipe... i will let you know how i get on ....

cheers all :)

was very successful i used ...

1lb of broccoli
1/2lb of blue stilton
1 1/2 pints of vegtable stock
1/4 pint of single cream
some butter
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic

fried the onion and garlic in the butter, once they looked doneish i added the broccoli and fried for a further 2 minutes, i then added the vegetable stock and boiled until the brocolli was softish. i then added the stilton and put the lot in the blender, once blended i popped it back in the pan and added lots of black pepper and the cream....delicious!

it served 4 and the only thing that would have made it better would be a glass of white wine.

thanks for the recipe suggestions, i think i will definately be making this again!
