Michelle's Freefrom Broccoli and Celeriac Soup with Blue Cheese

Corn, egg, gluten, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame & wheat free; can be lactose & soya free

This is the classic broccoli and Stilton soup – with a freefrom twist! If you are only worried about wheat/gluten, then you can go ahead and use Stilton; if you are cow’s milk intolerant then you can use the Roquefort; if you are lactose intolerant, then you can either use a soya cheese or just go with the toasted seeds. However, if you use the Munchy Seeds, be aware that they do include soya!

Serves 6

IngredientsBroccoli soup

  • 500g / 14 oz  broccoli including stems
  • 300g / 10 oz trimmed celeriac, diced
  • 1 large leek, trimmed
  • 1 litre/ 1¾ pints gluten/wheat free vegetable stock
  • 500ml / 18fl oz soya, oat, coconut or whatever milk you can drink
  • 4 bayleaves
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 100g / 4 oz Roquefort, Stilton or soya cheese
  • toasted sunflower seeds or ‘Munchy seeds’

Method

  1. Roughly chop the broccoli and put in large pot with the celeriac, leek, stock, milk and bay leaves, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
  2. Don’t worry if it looks really horrible when it has boiled as the ‘milk’ will probably separate – it will all sort itself out in the food processor!
  3. Remove from the heat, remove the bay leaves, and puree.
  4. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. To serves, reheat then sprinkle each bowl with some crumbled cheese and some seeds.
