CREAM OF BRUSSELS SPROUTS SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Trim off and discard the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts. Roughly chop the sprouts to similar sizes so they cook evenly; they'll get puréed in the end, so this isn't a beauty contest. Set them aside.
- Trim and roughly chop the celery; peel and roughly chop the shallot or leek.
- Heat the butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Once it is melted, add the celery and the shallot. Sprinkle with the salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped Brussels sprouts and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally until the Brussels sprouts turn a brighter shade of green, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring everything just to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer, cover partially, and cook until the Brussels sprouts are completely tender about 10 minutes.
- Use a hand-held immersion blender to completely purée the soup. You can also do this in a blender, but just be sure to let the soup cool a bit first, work in batches, and put a kitchen towel over the top of the blender in case the heat of the soup makes it splatter. Be sure to purée the soup a bit longer than you may think is necessary; you want the final product to be as smooth as possible.
- Stir in cream, if you like.
- Serve the soup hot, with a garnish of freshly ground black pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Select Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Choose firm and brightly colored Brussels sprouts for the best flavor and texture.
- Roast Garlic for a Rich Flavor: Roasting garlic mellows its flavor and adds a depth of taste to the soup.
- Use Quality Vegetable Broth: Opt for a low-sodium vegetable broth to control the saltiness of the soup and allow the natural flavors to shine.
- Don't Overcook the Brussels Sprouts: Boiling the Brussels sprouts for too long can make them mushy; cook them until they are tender but still slightly firm.
- Blend until Smooth: Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a regular blender to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs and Spices: Top the soup with chopped chives, parsley, or a sprinkle of nutmeg for an extra burst of flavor.
