Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower Soup
Description
The Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower Soup begins by roasting cauliflower florets and halved Brussels sprouts drizzled with olive oil until tender and lightly browned. This caramelization adds depth and a mild nutty flavor. Meanwhile, shallots are gently cooked in butter until translucent, imparting sweetness and aroma to the broth.
Vegetable broth is added to the pan with salt, and the roasted vegetables are combined—reserving some roasted pieces as garnish. The soup is simmered briefly to develop harmony in flavor before being blended until smooth, creating a creamy consistency without cream.
The reserved roasted vegetables provide textural contrast and visual appeal when served, topped with freshly cracked black pepper to enhance subtle heat. The result is a balanced dish suitable for serving as an appetizer or light lunch alongside bread or salad.
Ingredients
- canola oil cooking spray
- 16 oz cauliflower florets
- 16 oz Brussels sprouts (halved)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter (or more oil for DF, W30, V)
- 1/2 cup shallot chopped
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with oil. Place the cauliflower and the brussels cut side down on the baking sheet, drizzle with oil and roast on the bottom third of the oven 25 minutes, tossing half way until slightly browned.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large sauce pan over low heat and add shallots. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Shut the oven off, reserve about 1 generous cup of the roasted vegetables and keep warm on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the rest to the pot and simmer 2 minutes.
- Transfer in two batches to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve in 4 bowls topped with the roasted vegetables and fresh black pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
