Purple sprouting broccoli soup

This is really simple and great as a quick and delicious lunch, supper or starter.

Method 

Wash the broccoli and cut into roughly 1cm pieces. Peel the potatoes and cube. Chop the onion. Put the butter or oil into a saucepan and heat. Add all the veg and give them a good stir for a minute. Cover with boiling water and add the stock cube and nutmeg. Simmer until the potatoes are tender. Blend. Stir in cheese if you are using it and serve with a swirl of yoghurt and some buttered crusty bread.
