Method (Total Cooking Time: 2 to 3 hours)
  1. Place the prepared broccoli into the slow cooker pot. Add a crumbled-up stock cube, spring onion, salt and pepper.
  2. Pour over the hot water, stir. Cover with lid. Cook on High for 2 to 3 hours, until the broccoli is tender.
  3. Remove the pot from the base. Use a stick blender to blend the broccoli with the stock, to break it up a bit. Then add the milk and adjust the seasoning, before blending to your prefered consistency and thickness. You can also do this in a food processor or blender. But remember to remove the spout cover to allow for the steam to escape!
  4. Serve topped with optional extras like crumbles of Stilton or grated Cheddar, fresh parsley and paprika.
