Making this curried Brussels sprout soup is a great way to use up leftover sprouts, whether cooked or uncooked. Deliciously spicy and creamy. Suitable for vegans. Can be frozen.
Whether you love or hate Brussels sprouts there's no denying that they're an essential part of the Christmas table.
For many people this is the one time of year that they eat sprouts. However, they are cheap, easy to buy and seasonal throughout autumn and winter. Meaning that we should all eat more sprouts!
Traditionally boiled until soft, Brussels sprouts improve a lot when roasted or sautéed. They are also great made into a soup.
My Brussels sprouts soup is spiced with ginger, turmeric, chilli and cumin and is delicious. It's a great way to use up leftover sprouts and can be frozen.
Can you make this soup with leftover cooked Brussels sprouts?
Yes. If you bought too many sprouts for Christmas day and have uncooked sprouts leftover this is a great recipe to use them up.
If you have cooked your sprouts already and they didn't get eaten you can still use them in this soup. Add to the spiced onion base with the stock, blend and heat through.
