Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter, or vegetable oil
  • 1 bunch salad onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 large Essential Potatoes peeled and diced
  • 500ml vegetable stock made with 1½ stock cubes
  • 500g frozen Essential Broccoli Florets

  • 4 tbsp Essential Single Cream (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the butter or oil in a large saucepan, add the salad onions with a pinch of salt and cook gently for 3 minutes until starting to soften. Add the potatoes and vegetable stock and season well. Bring to the boil then simmer gently, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

  2. Add the broccoli florets and milk. Return to a simmer, then cook gently for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli and potatoes are tender.

  3. Blitz the soup in a blender or using a stick blender until smooth. Return to the pan, scatter in the cheese, then heat gently until melted. Check the seasoning.
