Creamy Roasted Brussel Sprout Soup

Got my Covid vaccine shot yesterday! So I figured an easy soup would help with the side effects and not put too much stress on the recovering body. I'm happy to report that the side effects weren't terrible. Rough muscle pain first thing in the morning, followed by some fatigue requiring a nap, but I still got my steps in! Bonus, this soup is pretty easy, and really delicious.


Creamy Roasted Brussel Sprout Soup

Source: Eat Drink Shrink | Serves: 4 | Time: 45 min


Changes: added kale instead of spinach; used an immersion blender


Ingredients

1 lb #BrusselsSprouts, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)

EVO for drizzling

Salt and fresh cracked black pepper

1 tbsp vegan butter

2 large shallots, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup dry white wine

Handful of #kale

3 cups vegetable stock (homemade to reduce sodium)

1 cup almond milk

1 cup #cashews, soaked

2 tbsp dijon mustard


Instructions

Set oven to 375F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Add the prepped sprouts to the pan, drizzle with EVO, and generously add S&P. Put in the oven for 20-30 min. Shake the pan every once and a while.


Meanwhile, in a pot over medium heat add the vegan butter and chopped shallots. Cook for 3 minutes until translucent, don’t let brown. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Now add the wine and lower the heat. Reduce for 5-7 minutes.


Add sprouts and remaining ingredients to the pot. Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Add more kale or broth if you feel it necessary.


Serve the soup hot and enjoy!


Journal


Food & Drink

Didn't track what I ate all that well today. Recovering from the covid shot made me a bit inconsistent. Here's what I remember: 2 cups of coffee, 4 glasses of water, 1 egg and hummus sandwich, a smoothie (banana, coconut yogurt, spinach, peanut butter, jackfruit, and coconut milk), cheese and mustard sandwich, celery with hummus, white wine, and tonight's soup with some sourdough.


Exercise

Again, not feeling great, but forced myself to get some steps in with two walks totaling just under 5 miles. Total steps for the day: 12,407.
