- Add the broccoli and crumble in your stock cube. Pour in your water (approx 1 litre) and bring to the boil.
- Simmer until the broccoli has softened
- You can blend for a smooth soup or leave chunky, but allow it to cool before mixing and then return to the pan and heat.
- Stir in your cheese and season to taste, you can add water or thicken with a teaspoon of cornflour.
- Serve with a sprinkle of bacon on top or stir in. Why not add some croutons too!
- Crusty fresh bread and butter is always a winner with soup
