- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 oz Cheddar cheese, grated
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
Prepare the Brussel Sprouts
- Trim a small slice off the root end of each Brussels sprout.
- Cut each Brussels sprout in half from top to bottom, creating two equal halves.
- Lay the flat side of each halved Brussels sprout on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, thinly slice each half crosswise to create shredded Brussels sprouts. You can adjust the thickness of the slices to your preference.
Making the soup
- Heat the butter in a large soup pan or saucepan on a medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sautee for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the shredded brussel sprouts and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized
- Pour in the stock, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes to combine the flavors.
Blend the Soup
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a regular blender (in batches, if necessary). Blend until the soup is smooth and creamy.
Add Cheese and Cream
- Return the blended soup to the pot and place it over low heat.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream, continuing to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy. Avoid boiling.
- Ladle the Creamy Brussels Sprouts and Cheddar Cheese Soup into bowls.
