This Brie soup is very tasty. Great as a starter or light lunch. So good served in large hollowed-out Kaiser rolls!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 small onion, minced

  • 3 stalks celery, chopped

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 4 cups chicken stock

  • ½ pound Brie cheese with the rind, cubed

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 tablespoon green bell pepper, cut into very fine matchsticks

  • 1 tablespoon red bell pepper, cut into very fine matchsticks

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in chicken stock. Simmer until celery is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Brie cheese and allow to melt for about 5 minutes.

  2. Pour soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, then carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to purée. Purée in batches until smooth. Pour into a clean pot. Heat soup to almost simmering over medium-low heat. Pour in cream. To serve, garnish with red and green pepper strips.
