Vegetable soup with broccoli and brussels sprouts in chicken broth

4 servings

75 minutes

Vegetable soup with broccoli and Brussels sprouts in chicken broth is a true embodiment of lightness and rich flavor. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where the combination of fresh vegetables and aromatic broth is valued for its nutrition and harmony of tastes. The tender chicken broth creates a velvety base, while melted cheese adds softness and depth. Broccoli and Brussels sprouts fill the soup with fresh, slightly nutty notes, while carrots and green beans provide a sweet touch. This soup is perfect for a light dinner, warming on cool days without overloading the stomach. It is especially good with a spoonful of mayonnaise that makes the flavor even richer and creamier. The simplicity of preparation and natural ingredients make it an excellent choice for those who appreciate healthy and flavorful food.
