    I just boil up the collie or broccoli in stock with chopped onion and a couple of tatties and a few bits of thyme, then wizz it together in a blender and add ceam or stilton or both, or none, whatever you like

    i put a bit of red pepper through my cauliflower soup one time and only roughly blitzed it, was tasty.

    I wouldnt normally put the cream into the soup either i would serve the soup and then put a wee bit of cream in the middle then
