Cream of Brussels Sprouts Soup
This Cream of Brussels Sprouts Soup is an easy, satisfying meal. Add bacon for a delicious topper. Trim the Brussels sprouts of any discolored outer leaves and cut an “x” in their bases before cooking. Boil or steam them whole until just tender. Serve with hearty bread.
