Units Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat Olive Oil and Butter: In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add the Brussels sprouts and potato, then pour in the broth. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. Puree: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a blender.
  6. Finish Soup: Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use canned coconut milk or oat cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of nutmeg for brightness.
  • Serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese.
