This is really a good cheese soup. Overlook the "expert" words and use your common sense on what to skim off etc. A local restaurant makes this soup so I looked here for a recipe. This was better when I omitted the carrots and pureed the mushrooms in a food processor the second time. If you've tried and enjoyed Brie Soup don't bypass this recipe!
This soup is so good its silly. I look forward to making this again.
I didn't use the celery added a few peas instead. I also didn't use all of the cream just a tbsp really felt it didn't need it. Considering there was quite a bit of brie in this it was surprisingly light. We all enjoyed this and I would definitely make this for company. Thanks.
I love this. It freezes good also. I added leeks onions and garlic. I also puree everything togther and strain it several times. My chicken stock is home made also. This is a great basis to make your own. I have now made this 5 times.
I made this for Christmas just as the recipe says except instead of skimming off the impurities, I just ran it through a sieve after melting the cheese....it was silky smooth and the BEST creamy soup my family has ever had! Definitely a keeper!!
I followed Cheryn's suggestion and omitted the carrots and pureed the mushrooms and celery. I also figured out the hard way you are supposed to remove the rind before you put it in the pot. The soup is good but I thought it was missing something. I am not good at figuring out how to make a recipe better but if I make it again I'll try garlic or onion or more seasoning or something.
What a great soup! I used only peas (instead of all the veggies listed) which really simplified the recipe. While browning the flour I added two sliced cloves of garlic. I didn't want to share this soup with my husband, it turned out so well.
Very good easy to make. I choose not to strain it. I didn't add the mushroom or wine and had to substitute 2 cups of milk for some of the Chicken stock. Finished product is different but GOOD!
WOW! This soup is beyond awesome. We licked the bowls and brie is right back on my shopping list. I pureed the veggies per other reviewers, otherwise made per the recipe. It has a delightfully creamy & velvety texture and a wonderful mushroomy & winey taste. THANK YOU.
