Cream of Brie Soup with Brie Crouton Recipe

ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 pound onions, diced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup flour
3 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth
1 bay leaf
1 1/4 pint heavy whipping cream
1 pinch thyme
6 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1 ounce slices
1 ounce sherry
salt and pepper, to taste
12 slices toasted baguette
4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 6 thin slices

directions

In a heavy sauce pan, saute the onions, mushrooms and garlic in the butter, being careful not to brown. Add the wine and reduce until almost dry.

Add the flour and create a roux, cooking over low heat for a few minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cook until a proper consistency is achieved.

Reduce heat to a simmer and add the cream and thyme. Allow to simmer for a few moments and strain the soup.

Return to the pot and heat. Once simmering again, add the first measure of Brie and whisk until smooth. Add the sherry and adjust seasonings.

Pour the soup into bowls. Top with two croutons and a slice of Brie.

Place under broiler to melt Brie, being careful not to burn. Serve at once.
