Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts Soup
This rich and creamy soup transforms roasted Brussels sprouts and onions into a velvety purée. Blended with chicken stock, milk, cream, and sharp Cheddar cheese, it creates a deeply flavourful and comforting dish. The roasting process caramelises the vegetables, adding a sweet depth that balances beautifully with the cheese. It's an ideal choice for a satisfying dinner, yielding six generous portions.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 medium onion, thickly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cheddar cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Method
- Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to preheat.
- In a large ovenproof soup pot, toss the halved Brussels sprouts, sliced onion, olive oil, butter, and chopped garlic until well combined.
- Place the pot in the oven and roast the mixture for 20 minutes, then give it a stir. Continue roasting, stirring every 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and browned, for about 1 hour in total.
- Move the pot to the stove. Pour in the chicken stock and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the milk, heavy cream, and Cheddar cheese, heating for 5 to 10 minutes more. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your preferred texture. Finish by seasoning with salt and ground black pepper.
