    Brussels Sprouts Soup

    Jump to Recipe

    Brussels Sprouts soup is so easy and delicious! This is a hearty and filling soup loaded with vegetables, ham and spices. It is a quick, one-pot meal that freezes beautifully.

    Why this recipe is just so good....

    • Easy to make - the soup just needs a quick saute' of the veggies to bring out their best flavor. Then everything else is dumped in the pot and it simmers about 30 minutes.
    • One pot meal - Use a large soup pot with a lid or a Dutch oven to make this soup. Easy clean up is our goal for weeknight meals.
    • Healthy and low carb - the soup is filled with lot of non-starchy vegetables and is full of fiber. The combination of some pre-cooked ham, broth and spices layer this soup with so much flavor.
    • Fantastic leftovers - The soup freezes beautifully and tastes even better as leftovers. It is perfect for meal prep too.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Brussels sprouts, carrots, celery and radishes are the nutritious veggies in this recipe. I love to give them all a quick saute' in the pot with some olive oil. It really enhances their flavors. You can also add some other favorite vegetables such as bell pepper or green beans.
    • The soup has chopped, cooked ham from a leftover ham dinner that I had frozen. You could substitute sausage, bacon or kielbasa as well.
    • We are using both vegetable and beef broth for the soup. I like the combination of using different broths. Use all vegetable, beef or chicken if you prefer. Make it low sodium since the ham has some salt in it.

    Cooking Tips

    • Cut the vegetables in similar sizes so that they all cook evenly. The brussels sprouts will soften quite a bit the longer you simmer the soup and take on a 'cabbagey' texture.
    • Definitely fry the veggies in some oil before pouring in the broth. It only takes a few extra minutes but is so worth the effort!
    • If you are looking for a bit more spiciness, add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños.
    • I love serving soup with a salad like my Butter Lettuce salad or a Red Leaf lettuce salad. And I think soup is never complete without something to dunk in it. Try my Keto Cornbread Muffins or my Keto Rolls.
    Are brussels sprouts good for a keto diet?

    Yes! According to Healthline, they are a low calorie, high fiber vegetable that have about 4 grams of net carbs per ½ cup cooked. The fiber helps to regulate blood sugar.
    In addition they are very nutrious and high in Vitamins K & C and rich in antioxidants.

    How long do brussels sprouts last in the refrigerator?

    According to Perdue Extension, they will keep fresh for up to 3 days. When you buy them already in a sealed package, there is an expiration date already on it. If you buy them loose, don't remove the outer leaves or wash them until ready to use. Just store in a paper towel lined plastic bag with some holes poked in it.
