Brie Soup Au Sherry Recipes

MUSHROOM BRIE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter (4 tablespoons) in a medium or large pot over medium high heat. Once it's melted, continue heating until foamy and beginning to turn brown.
• Immediately add the diced onion and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Stir, turn heat down to medium, then allow to sauté untouched for approximately 5 minutes, or until liquid has mostly evaporated.
• Add flour (1/4 cup); stir to coat.
• Add chicken broth (4 cups), stir, bring to a boil.
• Turn heat down to simmer. Add cubed brie (8 oz.) and continue simmering until melted (if there are a few chunks that won't melt, don't worry about it).
• Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to desired consistency (alternatively, you can use a standard blender in batches).
• Add the heavy cream (1 cup) to soup and stir in. Turn off heat, and taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Serve hot, garnished with croutons and/or parsley, if desired.
