    Method

    1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then stir in the flour to form a smooth paste. Cook for a minute, stirring constantly – don’t let it brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
    2. In a larger pot, heat a little more olive oil and sauté the onion and mushrooms until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped broccoli and cook for another 6 minutes, stirring gently every now and then.
    3. Pour in the milk (or cream), add the stock cubes, and turn up the heat to bring it all to a boil. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium.
    4. While stirring, add the flour mixture and grated cheese. Simmer until the soup thickens to your liking. Season with salt and pepper, give it a final stir, and serve warm.
