Wash and chop the broccoli into small pieces. Peel and chop the potato. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Keep everything ready. This step saves time while cooking.

Place a large pot on medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm gently. Do not overheat the oil. Warm oil helps soften the vegetables evenly.

Add chopped onion to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir often until it becomes soft and slightly golden. This builds a sweet base flavor.

Add minced garlic to the onion. Cook for one minute only. Stir gently to avoid burning. Garlic adds a lovely aroma to the soup.

Add chopped potato to the pot. Stir well with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes. Potato helps make the soup thick and creamy.

Add chopped broccoli to the pot. Stir everything together. The bright green color looks fresh and inviting.

Slowly pour in the stock. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Then reduce heat to simmer.

Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes. The vegetables should become soft and tender. This step builds flavor and texture.

Turn off the heat. Use a hand blender to blend the soup until smooth. You can also use a regular blender. Be careful with hot liquid.

Return the soup to low heat. Add crumbled Stilton cheese. Stir gently until it melts into the soup. This gives a creamy and rich taste.

Pour in milk or cream for extra smoothness. Stir well. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Serve and Garnish

Pour the soup into bowls. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve hot with bread. Enjoy every warm and comforting spoon.
