- Add leeks and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened;
- Add carrots and celery and cook for another 3-4 minutes;
- Add Brussels Sprouts, potatoes and parsnip;

- Check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper;
- Garnish with parsley and serve with crusty bread.
- For an extra flavor's boost add a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a few drops of Maggie seasoning (all of which are optional).

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:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts. Look for sprouts that are firm and green, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the ends of the sprouts and remove any loose outer leaves.
- Slice the Brussels sprouts. You can slice the sprouts thinly or thickly, depending on your preference.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use store-bought broth or make your own.
- Don't overcook the Brussels sprouts. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Creamy Brussels sprouts soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this winter vegetable. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
