Broccoli and Cheese Soup
Here’s a tasty and simple soup adapted from a recipe by Charlotte Binns-McDonald in Delicious magazine.
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 large brown onion or 1 leek, diced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic – diced
750g broccoli – chopped (but shave some tiny bits off the top and save them to top the soup at the end)
6-7 cups of chicken stock
1 large handful of spinach leaves – chopped
3-4 wasabi leaves – chopped (optional – but we have them in the garden!)
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2/3 cup grated cheddar
2/3 cup of cream
1 cup corn kernels
4 rashers good quality bacon – fried and diced
1 large chicken breast – cooked and shredded
Cook the onion or leek gently in butter for 5 mins, then add the garlic and potato cook for a few minutes.
Add the broccoli and just enough chicken stock to cover. Cook for at least 20 mins or until soft.
Add the chopped leaves and stir in for a couple of minutes.
Allow to cool, then blitz with a food processor.
Reheat soup and add cheeses, then cream. Be careful not to boil it.
Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Serve sprinkled with reserved broccoli tops, corn, chicken and bacon.
Simple, easy and tasty.

Roast Carrot Soup
I’ve just been reminded of this soup recipe that I made up almost a year ago. I’m posting it here so as not to lose it. This photo is from that week but it must in fact be a different soup as the following has tomato or pumpkin in it… Cut these up and roast…
Cooking on Salt
I’ve just bought a salt block from Williams Sonoma after looking online at a few. It comes from Pakistan. You can use it as a platter, cool it for cheeses or desserts, or heat it and cook at the table. I chose the Williams Sonoma one because of the size and the metal holder. For…
Cheese-making
[Feta with chilli and coriander seeds, lemon and thyme, bay leaves and black peppercorns.] Tomorrow I’m doing a talk about cheese for our local church, so I thought I’d put my notes here. I’ve always loved cheese. My father, David, was an agricultural scientist specialising in dairy products, and later became the Director of Dairying…
