For me this is the ultimate comfort food! Incredible depth of flavor and a phenomenal way to eat brussels sprouts, even if you don't like brussels sprouts. You can heat some good Bavarian smokies (aka smoked brats) in this soup and make it a meal with some excellent crusty bread.

The one time I put brussel sprouts in soup was when I had leftover brussel sprouts and carrots one Thanksgiving. So I made soup out of them and that was the most wonderful flavoured soup! I will definitely try this! Thx!
