Easy Brussels Sprouts Soup…
This is an easy Brussels sprouts soup that tastes good and is good! I hadn’t made a soup using Brussels sprouts before and decided to try it for the first time.
I like to keep a bunch of brussels sprouts in my fridge, and felt it was a good idea to turn them into a quick and easy Brussels Sprouts Soup for supper!
Nevertheless, I have to tell you the outcome was a pleasant surprise.
This soup turned out to be terrific! It was amazingly delicious! And the best part about this soup? Very easy to make!
This Easy Brussels Sprouts Soup was ready in 15 minutes! Cool huh?
Ingredients You Will Need
For this recipe, you will need six ingredients. Plus, the seasonings, too.
How to Make This Easy Brussels Sprouts Soup?
Gather all the ingredients for this recipe such as carrots, celery, onion, parsley, and one pound of brussels sprouts. Don’t forget the broth, olive oil, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Then start to prep all the vegetables.

Directions To Make It:
Our full printable recipe card is located at the bottom. But first, let’s walk through the 3 easy-to-follow steps before you start.
1. First, rinse and cut the ends off. Now, turn on your exhaust fan over the stove. Then toss these sprouts into a medium-sized pot, add one cup of water, cover, and bring to a boil. Boil them for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and steam the sprouts until they are fork-tender.
2. Meanwhile, toss in the chopped carrots, celery, and onions in a second pot with olive oil and on moderate heat. Saute them for 3 to 5 minutes (while Brussels sprouts are steaming). Pour in the broth, water, and fresh chopped parsley. Then toss the Brussels sprouts into the pot with the mixture of vegetables.
3. Simmer together for a few minutes, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and slowly puree the mixture into a smooth creamy soup.
Some Helpful Tips!
I used my immersion hand-held blender to easily puree the entire soup directly inside the pot. You can also do it with your blender – but only in small batches. (see notes at the bottom) Then serve it with some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top. For me, grated Parmesan cheese always gives soups more flavor!
It was perfect! 😉

- It is smooth and creamy and SO flavorful!
- The health benefits that come with this soup make it worth the effort.

My daughter Maria had mistaken it for my Creamy Broccoli Parmesan Soup, and that’s a good thing since she is my picky eater, so no complaints there!
Storing and Freezing
Always store the soup after it has cooled down to room temperature before storing it in a sealed container. Keep it chilled in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. And, it will freeze beautifully.

EASY Brussels Sprouts Soup
Brussels Sprouts Soup is a tasty and soothing "comfort" soup. Creamy and delicious, Brussels Sprout Soup is flavored with a mixture of carrots, celery, onions, and vegetable broth. Then it's easily pureed into a creamy, velvety soup. Best of all, the flavor of Brussels sprouts is completely hidden, making this an ideal soup for picky eaters.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion - chopped
- 2 to 3 medium carrots - chopped
- 1 to 3 small stalks of celery - chopped
- 1 pound (16 ounces) of fresh Brussels sprouts (small ones)
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 cup of bottled water, and extra as needed
- 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
- a couple dashes of cayenne pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp. salt and extra to taste
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- TO PREPARE THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS:
- Rinse and cut off the ends of Brussels sprouts, discard the ends.
- Then place them into a medium-sized pot filled with 1 cup of water. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are tender enough for you to easily slide a fork through one.
- Drain and set aside.
In the meantime:
- In another medium-size soup pot, heat olive oil on medium heat and add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté the veggies for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are softened.
- Add in Brussels sprouts and stir for a minute or two, to infuse the flavor into the veggies mixture.
- Pour in broth, water, and fresh chopped parsley. Cover and simmer on low heat for 6 minutes.
- Puree in the pot with a hand-held immersion blender, or blend in a blender in small batches at a time (or when the mixture has cooled down).
- Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and (optional) some fresh cracked pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, stir in some water.
- Serve with grated Parmesan cheese at the table. Great to reheat when ready to serve.
- Serves 4 to 5

I made this and wanted to share my story. I had an immersion blender so long ago that I didn’t really know what it was for, so I got rid of it. So, I was using my food processor and while looking for the lid and had my back turned, a ton of the liquid was leaking out all over my counters, cabinet doors and floor. Turned out the blade wasn’t clicked into place. So, I ended up using a potato masher! Not as blended as I would have liked, but it is tasty, low calorie, filling and loaded with veggies. Nice one!!

Hi! This looks great. When you say to use a “bag” of sprouts, how many would that be? Thank you!
Hi Maria,
One bag of fresh brussels sprouts will do. I never counted how many in the bag(but now I will) but I buy them at Trader Joe’s or a bag from Harris Teeter.
When I return from Prague, I will buy them again and count how many.
Thank you, I always buy mine loose from the farmer’s market, so that will be helpful. I enjoy your recipes very much!
