Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 300 grams Potatoes
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 30 grams Butter
• 1 liter Vegetable broth
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any outer leaves, and slice them in half.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and carrot, then dice them into small cubes.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 4

In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the Brussels sprouts, potatoes, and carrot to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the butter.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup to a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for a hearty consistency. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, puree, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm with crusty bread or rolls on the side.
