Method
 

Directions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions turn translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts and roast them for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  3. Add the roasted Brussels sprouts to the pot with the sautéed onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese, mixing until the cheese has fully melted into a creamy blend.
  5. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy but leave some chunks for texture.
  6. Ladle your soup into warm bowls. Garnish with additional cheese or crispy bacon bits if desired.

Notes

For a comforting experience, serve it hot alongside crusty bread or a fresh green salad. This soup stores well, freeze leftovers for easy meals later.
