Creamy broccoli and stilton soup

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
1 oz butter
1 head of broccoli
1 potato, grated
3 oz blue stilton (or blue cheese of choice)
3/4 pint Swiss bouillon (or light stock)
3/4 pint of milk
4 fl oz double cream
salt & pepper
few drops lemon juice

Mmmm broccoli

Sweat the onion and celery gently in the butter until softened. Break up the broccoli and add to the pan with the Bouillon and the grated potato. Simmer until the broccoli and potato are soft. Liquidise until smooth. Add the milk and return to the heat until hot but not boiling (you don't want the milk to split). Crumble in the cheese, take off the heat and stir until the cheese is melted into the soup. Add the cream, and season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
