This soup has fewer than 100 calories per serving even with the butter and the full fat yogurt! A bowl of soup preceding the rest of dinner fills the tummy and cuts the appetite. Another advantage? This soups adds a green-and-leafy veggie serving to your daily count and is high in vitamin C.

How To Make brussels sprouts soup

Step 1

In a heavy, covered, sauce pan, melt the butter on medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and stir to coat. Sweat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until translucent.

Step 2

Uncover, stir in the brown sugar and continue to cook for 10 minutes to coat and lightly carmelize the onions and garlic.
Step 3

Add the quartered brussels sprouts and the fines herbes and stir. Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4

Take off the heat. Process with an immersion blender or cool and process in a standard blender until smooth. Add the white pepper and bring back to a simmer briefly. Turn off. Allow to stand for 30 minutes.
Step 5

Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of yogurt on top.
