I have made this 3 or 4 times now and it is great. Use as a starter to a diner party and it always goes down well. Fathering law always asks for seconds….

My husband has given this 4 stars. This is from someone who says 'That's quite nice' when he means absolutely fabulous.I made it with frozen broccoli, so I boiled same in the stock before adding in the fried onion and garlic and Stilton. I halved the cream because of pure guilt!
