Yield 4 Serves

Number Of Ingredients 11

700gm Brussel sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
2 large brown onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
500gm chestnuts, roasted and peeled, chopped (if fresh is not available, use rinsed canned whole chestnuts)
1 1/2 litres chicken or vegetable stock
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup thickened cream
2 tablespoons of Italian parsley, chopped finely

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil and butter, saute onion until transparent, then add garlic. Fry for another 2 minutes. Add Brussel sprouts and the stock and cook for 8 minutes or until the Brussel sprouts are tender. Add chestnuts, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Take off heat and allow to cool slightly. Process the mixture with a hand blender (or a food processor) until smooth. Pour processed and reserved soup back into the pot, add cream and heat for a further 2-3 minutes until hot. Season to taste. Serve in prewarmed bowls with freshly chopped parsley and crusty bread.

I'm not a big fan of brussel sprouts, but I actually enjoyed this soup. The chestnuts helped to balance out the flavor of the brussel sprouts.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning, in my opinion.

This soup was a bit too creamy for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I think I would try making it with less cream next time.
