About

This simple sprout soup is thickened with cream cheese and tangy grated cheddar for extra richness.

This is a great lunch or dinner option, perfect served with a slice of keto bread or buttered toast.

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cup vegetable broth, bouillon or consomme
  • 2 cup brussels sprouts, raw
  • 2 tablespoon, chopped shallot
  • 1 ½ tablespoon cream cheese spread
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup, grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low/medium heat. Add the shallot and sweat gently for a minute. Thinly slice the garlic and add to the pan, sweating for a minute more.
  2. Quarter the sprouts, discarding any wilted outer leaves and tough bases. Add to the pan and stir well to combine. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes with the garlic and shallots.
  3. Add the stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 6-7 minutes until the sprouts are tender.
  4. Add the cream cheese and stir into the soup until melted.
  5. Transfer to a blender or use a hand held stick blender to process until smooth and creamy. Add the grated cheese and stir until melted into the soup.
