Ingredients (serves 2)

430g potatoes, unpeeled
220g broccoli
160g onion
150ml soy milk (or regular milk)
50g gorgonzola
salt and pepper to season

Method
  • Roughly chop the broccoli - stalks, florets and leaves all OK.
  • Roughly slice the onion.
  • Steam all the vegetables.  I use my LeKue steamer for this in the microwave, steaming the potatoes whole in their skins for 10 minute, the broccoli for 5 minutes and the onion for 2mins 30 sec.
  • Measure out together 150ml soy milk and 350ml water.
  • In batches, blend the steamed vegetables and liquid together in a food processor, transferring each batch to a large saucepan.
  • When all the soup has been blended, crumble in the gorgonzola and stir over a gentle heat until the cheese has melted.
  • Season to taste.  I used a good grinding of salt and a black pepper mix that includes orange and lemon peel and garlic.
  • Serve hot.
