Directions:
- Prepare the base: Begin by placing a pot over medium heat. Let it warm up slightly.
- Heat the oil: Pour in the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
- Cook the onions: Add the chopped yellow onion to the pot. Stir occasionally, cooking the onions for about 3 minutes until they soften and become translucent.
- Add Brussels sprouts: Add the Brussels sprouts, stirring to mix with the onions. Let them cook for 2 minutes, allowing their natural sweetness to develop.
- Incorporate the stock: Pour in the chicken stock and season with freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer: Allow the soup to cook for an additional 20 minutes, so the flavors meld together and the Brussels sprouts become tender.
- Blend: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup, creating a smooth, creamy texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- Add coconut cream: Stir in the coconut cream, mixing it thoroughly until the soup becomes velvety and rich.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing as desired.
- Enjoy: Dive into the creamy, comforting soup and savor every spoonful!
