Method
 

How to Make the Soup
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts and transfer them to a baking pan. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Add the roasted Brussels sprouts to the pot with the sautéed aromatics. Pour in vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for around 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese melts completely.
  5. Use an immersion blender for a creamy texture, keeping some chunks intact, or transfer to a regular blender.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with extra cheese or crispy bacon bits if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop for best results.
