Easy German Brussels Sprouts Soup

German Brussels Sprouts Soup is a quick and easy soup dotted with bacon and filled with great flavor.

When it comes to this soup, I have to say it’s a “Don’t judge me!” soup. And what I mean by that, is don’t judge a book by its cover. 

Brussels sprouts soup may not be the most photogenic, but it is absolutely delicious!

The Brussels sprouts are caramelized with onion and (turkey) bacon before becoming a rich and creamy soup. I mean how can something that looks this amazing, not have all the flavor to go with it?

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at just how flavorful this soup actually is.

You will absolutely love this!

As an added bonus, this soup is also quite quick to make. The longest part is simply prepping the Brussels sprouts themselves.
