Hi Pinch of Nom
First of all may I thank you for sharing some of your delicious recipes for free. For me it’s better than a straightforward advert. It’s meant that I now have a couple of your books!
I have a question regarding this recipe. The photo of the soup being served shows something creamy on top & it’s not listed in the ingredients or the method. Could you tell me what you used please.
Thank you again.
HollyFriday 18th February 2022
Hey Karen, so glad to hear you are enjoying our recipes! A little reduced fat creme fraiche or fat free Greek yoghurt would work as a garnish on-top of the soup. Just remember to alter the calories accordingly, hope that helps!
Kelly RobsonThursday 13th January 2022
Hi, I am not. Big fan of Stilton on it own, I’ve have had Stilton cheese sauce before and wondered if this would be like that? Not a over powering taste? Or is it all about the Stilton?
Thank you
HollyMonday 17th January 2022
Hey Kelly, if you aren’t sure on the Stilton cheese you could swap the Stilton for Gorgonzola and Danish Blue which have milder flavours. Hope that helps!
EmmaWednesday 19th January 2022
Hey Karen, I used white stilton, much milder
HollyThursday 20th January 2022
Hey Emma, thanks so much for your recipe tip!
Joanne WhiteWednesday 12th January 2022
Can you use a different cheese instead of silton or blue cheese?
HollyMonday 17th January 2022
Hey Joanne, if you have a copy of our Quick and Easy cookbook there is a Broccoli and Cheddar Soup which you may enjoy. More information can be found HERE, hope that helps!
