• Wash your Brussels sprouts, discard outer leaves, gently trim the ends (you can leave them whole or cut them in halves, making sure that stem is intact so they don't fall apart in the soup).

• Once you have a full cup of liquid, pour it over into the pot;
• Check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper;

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!
