Broccoli and Blue cheese soup

I came up with this recipes when was sick with the flu. I think it was last winter sometimes... that day I was wondering around the supermarket cold isle looking for those ready made soup in a bag. I was originally looking for those creamy country chicken soup but there was none! I was rather disappointed actually,then I saw this bag of broccoli and blue cheese soup and i thought to my self "YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM" So I proceed to read the ingredient written on the bag, as I do because I am a compulsive reader and I read anything when I realised that "oh its simple and I have most of the stuff at home, apart from the blue cheese" So instead of buying the bag I went home with a thing of blue cheese and a thing of French stick!

What you need:

1 small leek
4 medium potatoes
2 clove of garlic
5 florets of broccoli (i used frozen ones today)
a dash of butter
a small wedge of blue cheese
a can of evaporated milk (you can use 250 ml cream)
Salt and black pepper to taste

What to do:

Chopped garlic and slice the leek and potatoes thinly (you might want to leave the cut potatoes in salt water to prevent it going brown). I only used the white stuff, I didn't really want to inclube the green stuff because it looked a bit yucky. Melt some butter in a pot and fried the chopped garlic until it goes golden and fragrant. Then add the sliced leek. Once they look cooked and smell nice, you can add a little bit of water to the pot and add the thinly sliced potato and broccoli. Boil for a few minutes.

Once they are soft add the blue cheese and let it melt. At this stage if the pot is getting dry due to liquid evaporation then add the milk/cream. Simmer in low heat for a few minutes until the blue cheese melted. I then used a hand blender to destroy all the chunky bits in the soup ( I turned off the heat during this demolition procedure). Once everything is not so chunky anymore, add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. TADAAAAAAA its done!! Its a good winter soup!
