Ok. You may be thinking…”Soup? I thought this was a baking blog?”
Well, it is! However, I used the oven to prep for the soup so I figured it deserved a post. Why not! Plus, I think you’ll like it. If you’re vegan, you’ll definitely like it! Just omit the sprinkle of parmesan at the end.
If you’re not vegan, you’ll certainly reap the benefits. Flavorful and good for you! Brussel sprouts contain cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory benefits. Additionally, beans are naturally low in fat and contain a nice dose of fiber, protein and iron among other fab health benefits!
I was inspired by this recipe, but wanted to give it deeper flavor so I oven roasted the brussel sprouts and added 1 teaspoon of cumin. I LOVE cumin!
Oven Roasted Brussel Sprout Soup with White Beans
– 1 lb Brussel sprouts
– 1 12 ounce can white beans
– 1 small white onion, chopped
– 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
– 1 tsp ground cumin
– 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
– sea salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Toss Brussel sprouts in 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in oven for about 30 to 35 mins. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cut the oven-roasted sprouts in half or quarters.
In a large pot or dutch oven, brown onions in 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the Brussel sprouts to the onions, add beans, cumin and vegetable broth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook until all the vegetables are cooked. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup inside the large pot. I like my soup a bit chunky with some beans and Brussel sprouts so I didn’t puree the entire soup. Use the immersion blender based on your preference.
Enjoy with a generous sprinkling of aged parmesan cheese!
I don’t think I’ve ever had brussel sprouts in soup before. Not sure why not. Their bright cabbagey flavor seems meant for soup. I love them roasted and will definitely give this a try soon. (Note: topping anything with parm sells me every time).
Adding parm…me too!! I always get drawn in. Hope you have the chance to make this. It’s surprisingly tasty. Especially with the cumin.
This is definitely a new way to see brussels sprouts!
Such a healthy meal Allison! Love brussels sprouts 🙂
I love brussel sprouts too. I could eat them every day!
I could no agree more… I want to see everything you make on/in your oven! 🙂

Hi Allison,
Nice recipe. It’s regrettable that you don’t employ “print friendly” technology, as your print button wasted 6 extra pages of paper and toner (including lame comments). Not cool.
