A wonderfully delicious, hearty & healthy vegan soup containing brussels sprouts, tomatoes, garlic, onion and ginger.
That's all!
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, tips cut off, discolored leaves removed
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced,
- 1 medium red onion, thinly chopped
- 3 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
- a bit of ginger, thinly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less, depending on how spicy you like your chili)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnishes: chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Wash the brussels sprouts very well, trim the nubby ends and any discolored leaves off them.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in another medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and a sprinkle of salt, and cook - stirring occasionally - until the veggies are soft, about 2 minutes. Then stir in the ginger,tomatoes, and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Transfer it to a blender and purée the mixture until smooth, about 1 min.
- Now bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Pour in the brussels sprouts, the broth and bring to a simmer. Transfer the puréed soup to the saucepan, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15, to give the flavors time to meld.
- Ladle soup into individual bowls. Sprinkle your favorite garnish over the soup and serve.
