How to Prepare Apple, Parsnip, and Fennel Soup With Crispy Sage Brussels Sprouts [Vegan, Grain-Free]

To Make the Soup:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and add the sliced leek and fennel. Sauté for 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Add the remaining ingredients minus the nutritional yeast and simmer on medium heat until parsnips are tender about 30-40 minutes.
Transfer to a blender, add the nutritional yeast then purée until creamy. To serve, garnish with crispy Brussel sprouts and Shiitake mixture.

To Make the Crispy Brussel Sprouts:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine all ingredients on a baking sheet or pan, toss with olive oil, balsamic, salt, and pepper.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. When slightly crispy, remove from oven and serve hot, scooping desired amount over top each bowl of soup.
