There are several cream of brussel sprouts soups out there, including this one from Sainsbury's: https://recipes.sainsburys.co.uk/recipes/soups/brussels-sprout-and-cheddar-soup
I might be inclined to make it with ham stock, then crumble some very crispy cooked bacon on top. M&S cooked strips are plenty crispy enough, if you're feeling in low effort mode.
I'm a sprout lover, and MrB is a sprout loather, so it won't be happening on our house, any time soon.

Friday and Still at my mums place but christmas day and exhaustion for my mum although she cant do anything anymore due to her dimentia and mobility she gets very tired by having everyone over and by boxing night my mum had forgotten who I was. It took me a lot of strength to not get emotional I think mum was also upset she forgotten who I was but I tried to make light of it and made her laugh with some jokes... its amazing how this can trigger my anxiety and eating of sweets which it did and I ate some lollies for comfort... by bed time mum remembered who I was which is what happens.
Friday breakfast white bread toasted with butter and grilled cheese and a black coffee. After breakfast I took one of my sisters to a medical appointment then went to the Lebanese shop and brought some goat cheese and some nuts
Lunch I was given sweets again
Dinner more Christmas lunch left overs. I then packed my clothes and belongings said my goodbyes and drive home which takes over an hour. So got home around 9pm. my house was very warm so air conditioning was put on. Walked into my bathroom to being confronted with two large cockroaches I hate them errrrr so grabed the surface sprayed and killed those pests amd chocked myself up with the fumes but at least they are gone!!!!.

Granny was full of sayings like that and she was a very wise woman. Anyone I've come across with skinny lips is not to be trusted. The one teacher I had with skinny lips was not a nice person and there's a few politicians with skinny lips that are proving Granny's wise words.
Cream of sprouts with cheddar is nice. Fry off some chopped onion until softened. If the sprouts are raw half them and add to the mix. Touch if chilli or garlic is nice too. Add vegetable stock, lid on and let it simmer for 30 mins or so. Puree, add some double cream and grated cheddar, check seasoning and mix through.Well today so far...another outrageous FBG after a very careful day yesterday. @DJC3 has got me thinking it might be the fizz. Regulars will know my drink of choice is a snifter or two of gin & sparkling water but for the past 3 days I have only drank Champagne or Cremant so need to test that theory later!
Planned another almost OMAD with the OMAD being turkey salad later. However we all went over to the little village where No. 2 son and GF buying a little cottage to look around and visit what will be his local at lunchtime. Planned a soup or starter but ended up having a steakburger bunless with tiny pot of coleslaw. Mr PM very excited by the range of ales available and frightened son with ideas of returning once they’re in and staying over. I am now very full so dont know if or what I may eat later.
Any ideas about making soup with excess sprouts? Still have one whole stalk to use up. Would cream of sprout soup work or just be plain wrong?
High fbg so CWC and a dog walk instead of breakfast.
L: small slice ( last one, phew!) of the Keto Chicken Curry pie, probably shouldn’t be eating it still. Salad and coleslaw. A DGF double choc brownie with cream.
D: not really hungry yet but had 2 celery sticks with Philly and a couple of bits of salami. I’m hoping to try some of the indulgent looking Hot drinking chocolate a friend sent me for Christmas soon, in a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of cream and water.
Is your drinking chocolate from HC? Last I was in Brum, meeting some friends, I picked up a drum pack of HC hot choc, with chilli for MrB. He loves it.
In Lidl I noticed something similar, but he reckons the Lidl one is too, too sweet for him.
Hot choc with chilli? Ooh no haven’t spotted that but might be on my birthday list!
This one is Hasslacher’s Colombian 100% cacao drops so not sweetened at all, I’m really looking forward to it.
I've just looked it up. I've seen the bricks of that in enigma which is TKMaxx, and wondered about it for MrB
Just tried it - very smooth and rich and delicious. Mine are small buttons in a tube not a brick though!
