This is a recipe for a delicious and easy to make soup. Broccoli and stilton soup is perfect for a cold wintery day. Here in Minnesota, we are having lots of cold wintery and snow filled days. So, winter was my inspiration for this soup. It takes a short time to make and will really warm you up. The cheesiness makes me smile. Enjoy.
