Creamy Brussels Sprouts Soup with Caramelized Onions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Brussels Sprouts Soup with Caramelized Onions.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious soup, grab a large pot and warm up some olive oil over low heat.

2. Step 2

   Toss in your sliced onions, cover the pot, and let them cook gently for about 30 to 40 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Stir occasionally, and watch as the onions transform into a tender, sweet base for your soup.

4. Step 4

   Once they’re soft and inviting, take off the lid and sprinkle a bit of sugar over the onions.

5. Step 5

   This will help them caramelize beautifully, so let them cook uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes until they turn a lovely light brown.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to add some vibrant flavor! Toss in the halved Brussels sprouts and fresh thyme, then pour in the chicken stock.

7. Step 7

   Season everything with a pinch of salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a lively boil.

8. Step 8

   Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, just until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still have a bit of bite.

9. Step 9

   After that, let the soup cool slightly before blending it to a smooth consistency with an immersion blender.

10. Step 10

    If you don’t have one, you can carefully transfer it to a regular blender in batches.

11. Step 11

    Once blended, gently reheat the soup for a couple of minutes, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.

12. Step 12

    Serve your warm, comforting soup hot, and don’t forget to top it off with a dollop of sour cream and a splash of hot pepper sauce for that extra kick.
