Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 tbsp (0.5 oz / 15g) Olive oil
  • 2.0 medium Shallots , chopped (2.0 oz / 55g)
  • 1.0 cup (8.5 oz / 240g) Coconut cream
  • 1.0 cup (8.0 oz / 240g) Chicken stock
  • 1.0 lb (16.0 oz / 454g) Brussels sprouts , halved
  • 0.1 tsp (0.02 oz / 0.5g) Salt
  • 0.1 tsp (0.02 oz / 0.5g) Black pepper
  • 1.0 tbsp (0.1 oz / 3g) Chives , chopped
  • Cream alternatives: If you don't need this to be dairy-free, heavy cream can be substituted for coconut cream at a 1:1 ratio.
  • Use Full-Fat Coconut Cream: For the richest, most luxurious texture, make sure you are using canned, full-fat coconut cream rather than carton coconut milk. This is what gives the soup its velvety consistency without any dairy.
  • Acid is Your Friend: A heavy, creamy soup often needs a little brightness. Stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of apple cider vinegar right at the end (with the chives) to cut through the richness and balance the flavors.

Method
 

  1. Press the ‘Sauté’ function on your Instant Pot and add the 1. 0 tbsp. (0. 5 oz / 15g) of olive oil.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped shallots (2. 0 oz / 55g) and sauté them for exactly 5 minutes until reduced and translucent.
  3. Mix in the 1. 0 cup (8. 5 oz / 240g) coconut cream, 1. 0 cup (8. 0 oz / 240g) chicken stock, 1. 0 lb. (16. 0 oz / 454g) halved Brussels sprouts, 0. 1 tsp. (0. 02 oz / 0. 5g) salt, and 0. 1 tsp. (0. 02 oz / 0. 5g) black pepper.
  4. Seal the Instant Pot lid securely, ensure the valve is set to sealing, and set it to cook for 20 minutes at high pressure.
  5. Once the cooking cycle completes, perform a quick-release of the pressure for 5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the 1. 0 tbsp. (0. 1 oz / 3g) chopped chives into the mix, stir the Brussels Sprouts Cream thoroughly, divide into 4 bowls, and serve immediately.
  7. Sear for Extra Flavor: Before adding your liquids, you can toss the halved Brussels sprouts in with the shallots for the last 2 minutes of sautéing. Getting a slight char on the sprouts adds a beautiful, nutty depth to the final dish.
  8. Blend for a Smoother Finish: This recipe leaves the halved Brussels sprouts intact for a stew-like bite. If you prefer a traditional, silky-smooth cream soup, use an immersion blender right before adding the chives to purée the mixture.
