The only way I can describe this soup is luscious. It is rich, buttery and creamy but not bland and holds up very well to a variety of toppings including bold herbs or spicy flavors. For something really different, try a small spoon of prepared horseradish as a topping. It does not matter if I serve this as the center of the meal or a side, it is always the focus of my attention when eating.
This is not an everyday soup. I hold this recipe back for special occasions or when I feel like I need a special treat. Some people do not like the slightly tangy taste of the white skin when eaten raw, but they all agree it works in this soup. Just be sure to cut the skin in very small pieces and take the time to make sure it fully melts into the soup before serving. You will be rewarded with a wonderfully rich soup full of subtle flavor.
Luscious Brie Soup
Ingredients
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cups onion, chopped fine
1/4 cups celery, sliced tiny
1/4 a wheel brie cheese
1 cup milk or cream or mixture of both
2 Tablespoons butter
fresh herb garnish (optional)Directions
In a sauce pan over medium high heat melt butter and sauté onion and celery until they get translucent and soft. Add broth and cheese cut into very small chunks. Include the white outside skin but make sure it is cut very small so it melts into the soup and adds extra flavor. Stir slowly making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent any sticking until all cheese chunks melt. Then and add milk and/or cream. Stir until completely heated, but be careful not to boil. Garnish with fresh herb of choice. I like chives or chopped green onions but any strong herb or spice flavor works too.
