This one's simple - if you like Brussels sprouts, then I think you'll love this soup. If you don't like Brussels sprouts, then this soup's not for you! That's pretty cut-and-dry, wouldn't you say? I, for one, love Brussels sprouts and love this soup. And love that it comes together pretty quickly.
Heat up some frozen Brussels sprouts and give them a rough chop. My mom chopped up the ones for this batch of soup and she was a bit more meticulous than I would be ... she actually took the time to nicely quarter each sprout. She's sweet like that.

On a side note, that tiny corner of a biscuit you see to the right of the soup bowl was an experiment that didn't turn out as well as I expected. It's a Maple-Cardamom Sweet Potato Biscuit ... from my "50 Recipes for 2011" project list. I haven't chocked that one up as a failure yet ... yet ... but it definitely needs to be reworked.
