Brussels Spouts Soup…
I haven’t made a soup using Brussels sprouts before and wanted to try it for the first time.
I had a bunch of brussels sprouts in my fridge, I 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?ย Very easy to make!
This Easy Brussels Sprouts Soup was ready in 15 minutes! Cool huh?
How to Make This Easy Brussels Sprouts Soup?
There are 3 easy steps to making this soup:
1. First, rinse and cut the ends off. Toss these sprouts into a medium-sized pot, add one cup of water, cover, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and steam the sprouts until they were tender.
2. Next, toss them into a second pot that has been already simmering with a mixture of carrots, celery, onions, and broth. (full recipe card below)
3. Simmer together for a few minutes with some fresh parsley and some seasonings, about 6 minutes. Then puree.
A Quick Tip!
- I used my immersion hand-held blender to easily puree the entire soup and served it with some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
For me, grated Parmesan cheese always gives soups more flavor!
It was perfect! ๐

Instructions
- TO PREPARE THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS:
- Rinse and cut off the ends of Brussels sprouts, discard the ends.

- Add in Brussels sprouts and stir for a minute or two, to infuse the flavor into the veggies mixture.

- 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 and 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.

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!
It’s so nice to hear that you enjoy our recipes. I love hearing from people! Please let me know if I can further assist you with any other recipe! Have a great week!
