Brussels Sprouts Soup
4 servings
35 minutes
Brussels sprout soup is a refined dish of Belgian cuisine that combines the tenderness of vegetables with the richness of mushroom broth. Lightly sautéed in oil, Brussels sprouts acquire a soft texture and a subtle nutty flavor, while potatoes add depth to the dish. Adding sour cream before serving makes the soup velvety and gives it a slight tanginess. This soup is perfect for warming winter evenings or light lunches, surprising with its simplicity and sophisticated taste. In Belgium, it is often made at home, especially in regions where Brussels sprouts hold an important place in gastronomy. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread and fresh herbs, making the meal cozy and heartfelt.
