Broccoli and Stilton Cheese Soup
"The first time I have had this delicious soup was a few years ago on a sky holiday in France. ?? I have to admit that when the menu has been revealed and heard about being served broccoli soup I was not only a little skeptical but also a bit long faced, but of course, I was prepared to give it a try and…… I did! Firstly because I could not be bothered showing any fuss for food in front of my small childern and secondly because I do like trying new food. I gave it a try and I am so glad that I did to this very day. I actually did eat it and even asked for a more. It is now most definitely my top favorite blended soup along with the creamy mushroom which used to be by far my number one favorite but now I have two yummy soups sharing a first place on my taste buds.?? It is absolutely delicious?? You will only have to make it once and see how much you will love it too."
