Method

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan and fry the onion, potato and celery for 10 minutes until soft. Add the broccoli and cook for another 5 minutes before adding the stock. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potato is tender, and season well, then using a stick blender, whizz the soup until smooth and thick. Spread the stilton over the toasts, pour the soup into warmed bowls, and top with the toasts, chives and cashews.
