Brussel Sprout and Sweet Potato Soup
I’m so glad that it’s finally soup weather again. I could eat soup every day! I especially like soup on a cold dreary Monday when the weekend felt a little too short. Something easy to put together that can really make you feel better! That being said, I am going to institute soup Mondays on the blog starting today and lasting for at least a couple weeks but probably longer. Today’s soup is a hearty and healthy one that was much needed after the fry-fest known as fair food week last week.
Some sausage is the first layer of flavor in this soup.
Sausage comes out and veggies go in next.
Broil the brussel sprouts with some oil to get that nice charred flavor.
Dont add them in till the last minute. Tasty!
Little pecorino finished things off nicely.
And so soup Mondays begin! Hopefully some of you can play along and make this tonight!

I Love Soup Mondays! I will be making this tonight. Looks awesome.
Mmmm. That looks really good. I’m going to make sure to grab some sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts in my next trip to the farmer’s market. Those are two veggies I don’t buy enough.
I was just looking for a brussel sprout soup!
Soup Monday!!! Great idea! Love the broiled brussel sprouts.
Awesome Soup, but super awesome shirt!
I love soup weather time! I was thinking about making some soup tonight, actually, and stumbled upon this. Serendipity, I tell you!
I tried Brussel sprout soup recipe. Because we are vegetarian I used vegetable broth and no meat. Used smoke chili with oregano as spices. It was delicious. I am not crazy about sweet potatoes or brussel sprouts but loved it. It was surprisingly very hearty. Thank you for great recipe.
Thank you for the ideas. Going to try a ham or summer sausage variation on this in smaller quantity.
Made this tonight! It’s 18 degrees out and this was delicious and perfect for the weather!
