BROCCOLI AND STILTON SOUP

Steps:

• Put the garlic oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add the chopped spring onions and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the thyme and the frozen broccoli, and stir in the heat for a minute or so. 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. 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. Scatter with a confetti of red chilli dice on serving, if you feel like it.
