Ingredients

• ✧ 3 tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
• ✧ 6 spring onions  (finely chopped)
• ✧ 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• ✧ 1 kilogram frozen broccoli
• ✧ 1250 ml  hot vegetable stock   (from concentrate or cube)
• ✧ 200 grams crumbled or chopped Stilton cheese
• ✧ freshly ground  black pepper
• ✧ 1 long fresh red chilli pepper  (deseeded & finely chopped (optional))

Method

1. ✧ Put the garlic oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add the chopped spring onions and cook for a couple of minutes.
2. ✧ Add the thyme and the frozen broccoli, and stir in the heat for a minute or so.
3. ✧ Add the hot vegetable stock and the crumbled or chopped Stilton and bring to a bubble, then clamp on the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
4. ✧ Liquidize in a blender (or failing that a processor) - in batches - then pour back in the pan and heat if it's cooled too much while blending, and add pepper to taste.
5. ✧ Scatter with a confetti of red chilli dice on serving, if you feel like it.
