BRUSSELS SPROUTS SOUP RECIPE (EUROPEAN STYLE)

Steps:

• Peel and chop carrots;
• Clean and chop your leek;
• Peel and cube the potatoes;
• Clean and chop celery;
• Peel the parsnip (I use it whole and discard it at the end of cooking, but feel free to chop it like carrots and leave it in the soup);
• Wash your Brussels sprouts, discard outer leaves, gently trim the ends (you can leave them whole or cut them in halves, making sure that stem is intact so they don't fall apart in the soup).
• In a Dutch Oven or other pot with a lid, heat up butter or olive oil;
• Add leeks and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened;
• Add carrots and celery and cook for another 3-4 minutes;
• Add Brussels Sprouts, potatoes and parsnip;
• Pour in the broth, cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, until all the veggies are cooked.
• Pour the cream into a cup and slowly add some of the soup broth to temper the cream;
• Once you have a full cup of liquid, pour it over into the pot;
• Check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper;

• For an extra flavor's boost add a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a few drops of Maggie seasoning (all of which are optional).
