Eh. It was really hard to rate this one because I don't know what I was expecting. It's not good but not bad either. I couldn't find stilton cheese, so I used blue cheese. If I were to make it again, I think I would add more veggies (cauliflower, carrots, squash, etc) and not use nearly as much cheese. Or maybe not as much blue cheese and add some parmesan or something.

Made this the other night. Very easy, very quick. Like a few others I added some garlic to the mix before the stock went in. To make it a bit more 'chunky' I used a potato masher rather than blender and the results were excellent. Very nice recipe, thx Anronicky. :)

What a huge disappointment. Sounded good in theory but consistency was not to my liking and the taste "needs something" but I couldn't figure out.

I made this with some really stinky English stilton (I love that stuff!). Apart from adding a little more broth, I pretty much made this as written. It was good but I still prefer Stilton and cauliflower soup. Thanks!

This has become a real favorite of mine. And if I don't have enough broccoli, I've added carrots and cauliflower and its great.

Had to try this recipe after it came to my inbox. I didn't see any reviews stating they did not puree the soup so i thought i would try it just for the sake of simplicity. It was good but much better pureed. I also add a bit of red pepper flakes and some stilton crumbles on top. It would also taste good with bacon crumbles which i will try next time we make this.

I hate giving bad reviews...but this needs one. I love stilton cheese and this sounded good......but I really don't like it at all. I'm in the kitchen now trying to come up with something to make this taste good.

This is absolutely the best tasting broccoli soup I have ever eaten. The blue Stilton I bought from igourmet.com made this soup out of this world good.

We liked this soup, made only hours ago, and will have it again. It is perfect for a cold, wintery day. Even people who don't care for bleu cheese will find this recipe an exception.

This is a hearty vegetable soup that is also tasty thanks to the excellent blue cheese. It can be slightly bland if your eating it as an entree though. Adding a whole red bell pepper (makes it a little sweeter and more colorful) and a tablespoon finely chopped garlic with the veggies, and the red pepper flakes will give it that extra bite. I have also been known to add an ounce or two more stilton than the original recipe calls for. I even substituted vege broth for the chicken broth and made it for my vegetarian friends, though you have to add a bit of salt and pepper to make up for the difference. Overall a great recipe and a great soup!

This soup is very hearty and filling for a low calorie option. Not a huge fan of stilton, so I substituted sharp cheddar. Also used vegetable stock to make it for my vegetarian friends. We love it!

I ended up changing this recipe because I didn't have blue cheese, there wasn't enough broccoli for us and I didn't use the oil to saute the onion. But it was the start of my own recipe which I am submitting to allrecipes.com next.

My husband went nuts when he tasted this! He can't stop eating it. I added garlic and an extra can of chicken broth because it was very thick. I also added extra stilton---just because I love it. I am going to make this for my gourmet New Years Eve dinner I am making for friends.

YUM! YUM! YUM! I have been pining for 9 years for the soup I fell in love with while studying abroad in Cambridge, England, so I was so shocked and happy to find a broccoli & stilton soup recipe here. When I started making it, I was worried that I had built it up too much in my head, and I didn't want to be disappointed. I WASN'T! This is a great recipe. I made it exactly as stated, but I think maybe the potatoes I used were a little big, because it came out a bit thick. I just added another cup of broth, and it was awesome. I served it with french bread and butter. Simple and perfect! This recipe didn't even need extra salt & pepper.

I slightly changed the recipe by adding 3 extra ounces of Stilton plus garlic, salt, pepper and dried mixed herbs. I also used only two cups of chicken broth and added two cups of veg stock instead because I was worried the soup would taste too chickeny. I was very pleased with my soup. It tastes great!

Fantastic and simple. You really have to be a fan of blue cheese to like this. I added a minced clove of garlic about 30 seconds before adding the vegetables. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper. When adding the cheese, I added a dash of red pepper flakes to give it a little bite. It was perfect. Must have some chewy, crusty bread to dip with. Fantastic! Thanks.
