Puree soup in a blender, food processor, or soup emersion in batches until smooth.
This recipe can be made in the slow-cooker/crock pot, just follow the first step of sauteeing the onions then put everything in the pot and cook on low for 6 hours.

Tips:
You can find pre-cut Brussels sprouts and onions in almost every grocery store.
If you don't like the taste of figs, you can omit them from this recipe.
Make sure you blend this soup so the kiddos don't see the hidden veggies!
A great way to get kids to try this soup is to let them add small croutons.
I like to make this soup the night before I am serving it. It can stay in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
