My aunt shared this recipe with me, which she adapted from the Savory magazine she picked up at my local supermarket. At first thought I wasn’t sure how I felt about Brussels sprouts in a soup, but my first spoonful I was in love with the taste! The roasted flavor really comes through in every bite, perfect to warm up on this cold, snowy day.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower Soup

Creamy, dairy-free and dee-lish thanks to roasting the vegetables which adds so much flavor and depth! Topped with more roasted vegetables for texture, it’s both filling yet light.

Ingredients:

  • canola cooking spray

  • 16 oz cauliflower florets

  • 16 oz brussels sprouts, halved

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon butter (or more oil for DF, W30, V)

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • black pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450F.

  3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large sauce pan over low heat and add shallots. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and simmer 5 minutes.

  4. Shut the oven, reserve about 1 generous cup of the roasted vegetables and keep warm on the baking sheet.

  5. Transfer the rest to the pot and simmer 2 minutes.

  6. Transfer in two batches to the blender and blend until smooth.

  7. Serve in 4 bowls topped with the roasted vegetables and fresh black pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
