Broccoli Sprout Soup

Jump to Recipe

When we had some extra broccoli sprouts, my brother offered to create this soup for me.

The carrots, corn, and onion used here were all frozen from previous harvests. The peas were also frozen, but were from the store.

The recipe calls for broth, which we used chicken broth here, but a vegetable broth would work just as well. Replacing with water could work if your desired spices are included as well.

We ended up using a cup more broccoli sprouts than the recipe calls for here. You can do this too if you want to taste the sprouts a bit more. It gave the soup a slightly spicy taste and makes the soup a darker green.

I have not tried the soup in an unblended state, but it could work without this step.

We served this with homemade bread and croutons for those who wanted them.

If you don't want to blend the sprouts, feel free to add the raw sprouts on top once served.
