Guys, you are going to LOVE this soup!! It’s creamy, dairy-free and dee-lish thanks to roasting the vegetables which adds so much flavor and depth!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower Soup
Topped with more roasted vegetables for texture, it’s both filling yet light. Some of my other favorite creamy soups are Leek and Potato Soup, Cream of Asparagus Soup, and Carrot Ginger Soup.
My aunt shared this recipe with me, which she adapted from the Savory magazine she picked up at my local supermarket. At first thought I wasn’t sure how I felt about Brussels sprouts in a soup, but my first spoonful I was in love with the taste! The roasted flavor really comes through in every bite, perfect to warm up on this cold, snowy day.

I really wanted to like it, especially with the wonderful reviews. It was a bit better than the first time I made brussel sprout soup 22 years ago. Was afraid to try again. Told my family, “if momma don’t like it, no one has to eat it. I have it a try & I got past a few more spoonfuls. Husband was kind and got a small bowl down. I’ll keep to just roasting them with bacon.😊
This has been my favorite soup for years. I add a lot of garlic for some extra flavor and a little paprika. So yummy.
Can you freeze leftover soup??
Can this soup be frozen?
It’s delicious! I did also add garlic. I also used some flavor God garlic and herb salt and some Adobo but other than that, I followed the recipe and it was absolutely delicious!
