Ingredients

50 g Butter
1 White onion (Chopped)
1 Celery (Stick, Chopped)
1 Leek (Chopped)
1 Medium potato (Diced)
1 Broccoli (including the stalk, chopped)
1 litre Chicken stock
250 ml Arla Cravendale Milk
Parmesan cheese Rind (for flavour)

Croutons

400 g (leftover stale) bread (cubed)
2 tbsp Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add your onion, cooking over a medium heat until soft. If the onion becomes too dry, try adding a splash of water.

Step 2

In your saucepan, add a knob of butter and your sliced celery and leek, then leave on a low heat with a lid on. After 5 mins add your potato, cover with a lid and cook for another 5 mins.

Step 3

Pour in your stock and add any chunky bits of stalk from your broccoli. Then leave to cook for a further 10-15 mins, until all the vegetables are nice and soft.

Step 4

Add the rest of the roughly chopped broccoli and Parmesan rind, then leave to cook for another 5 mins.

Step 5

Add your milk, making sure the mixture doesn't boil as the milk might curdle. Then remove the Parmesan rind from the soup and transfer the pan contents to a blender, blitzing until smooth.

Step 6

Once you're happy with the consistency of your soup, share it out into your fanciest bowls, drizzle with a swirl of cream, then enjoy your belly-warming, waste-reducing meal!
