Chef's Tips
once you have made the soup base, you could leave out the brocolli & stilton and add parsnips and a pinch of curry powder for a sweet warm alternative!
I have listed this recipe seperately on the site too.
You can also freeze the base & when you fancy soup, add whatever cooked veg you fancy when you reheat it.
I thought this was rather watery and would have benefitted from Marigold vegetable stock powder in with the water. However, did not mean to score it only one star! Only the first one would light up!
