You only need a handful of everyday ingredients and minimal effort to make this delicious homemade vegetable soup.

5 cups Brussels sprouts trimmed, cleaned and sliced in halves
1 cup potato, peeled and diced into similar sizes
2 Tbsp. olive oil or butter
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
4 cups chicken stock
½ cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
2 tsp. Herbes de Provence
crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup milk
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Heat up olive oil on medium-high heat, add chopped onions and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant.

Add sliced Brussels sprouts, diced potatoes, Herbs de Provence and sauté for about 3 minutes.

Cover the sautéed vegetables with chicken stock then season with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes, stir to combine and cover the pot.

Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes and Brussels sprouts are fork-tender (say 10-15 minutes). Remove the pot from the stove, using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth.

Stir in milk, grated cheese into the hot soup and stir until melted, taste and season with salt to taste if need be. Serve into bowls and extra shaved fresh Brussels sprouts and crusty bread or grilled cheese toasty. Enjoy.

Makes 4 servings.

Cook's Notes:

  • You can also purée the soup in a high-power blender if you do not own an immersion blender.
  • Can I make this ahead? Yes, you can make Brussels sprout soup ahead of time. It will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
