Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 300g cooked Brussels sprouts
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 650ml vegetable stock
- 4 tbsp single cream
- 100g mature cheddar, grated, plus extra to serve
Step by step
-
Heat the oil in a medium pan and fry the onions over a medium heat until soft, 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, roughly chop half the sprouts, and cut the rest into halves or quarters, depending on size.
-
Add the garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the chopped sprouts and stock, cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool slightly.
-
Purée the soup. Stir the cream, remaining sprouts, cheese and some seasoning into the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a scattering of extra cheese.
TipIf you love sprouts so much that you don't have any leftovers, simply cook raw sprouts in boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
