Ingredients:

Serving

5 cups brussels sprouts, cut in half and slices (you don'tsp have to fine slice because they will be pureed once cooked)
1 medium onion, cut in quarters and sliced (again , it will be pureed, so no fancy slicing)
2 small leeks, sliced (just the whites )
1 small fennel bulb ( core removed, cut in half and sliced)
1 -2 garlic clove, rough chopped (you can always add more)
5 cups chicken broth or 5 cups stock
1/2 cup heavy cream , 1/2 is plenty for me to give it a creamy texture (more or less to taste)
1/4 cup white wine
2 tbsp butter , to saute vegetables
2 tbsp flour
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tsp dried rosemary
salt
pepper
1 lemon , squeezed over the soup
diced chives
cheese baguette (toasted and then with melted havarti or gouda)

Directions:

Base - In a large pot, add the butter and melt on medium heat. Then add the onion, fennel, leek and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes. Add in the brussels sprouts and cook 1-2 minutes until well combined. Add in the flour and mix well and cook an additional minute or two.
Liquid - To the fennel and brussels sprouts, add the white wine to deglaze the pan stirring well and then slowly add in the broth. Add in the nutmeg, just a pinch, you can always add more. Also add the rosemary, salt and pepper, again - go easy, you can always add more. Cook another 5 minutes.
Puree - I like to use my immersion blender right in the pot, but you can always transfer a few cups at a time and puree in a blender. I like a little texture so I don't puree it until it is completely smooth, but that decision is up to you. If you use a blender, return to the pot once pureed and add the cream, a little at a time until you get the consistency you like.
Now - depending on how thick you like your soup, you can always add a little extra flour to the cream as you add it to the soup and it will thicken the soup as it comes back up to a boil. I don't like mine too thick. Go easy, you don't want it too thick, just a little at a time.
Finish - Make sure you bring to a low boil and then reduce and just simmer for a few minutes until ready to serve.
Garnish and Serve - I like a toasted baguette with a tomato topping or an olive tapenade, but even just some gooey melted cheese baguettes are great. And some chopped chives and squeeze the lemon over the soup for a fresh taste.
