Yield 12 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups chopped leeks (white & light green parts)
1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup white wine

2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons white pepper
12 oz. brie cheese, rind removed & cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • In a large soup pan, saute leeks in butter until tender. Add the flour and cook another 5 minutes. Add prepared broth (straining to remove extra herbs and pepercorns), wine, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Strain, reserving the broth in the pan and blend the leeks with 1/2 cup of broth. Process until smooth and return to the pan. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil, stiring and cooking for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the brie to the soup in small batches, stirring until melted.

This soup is divine! It's so creamy and flavorful, with the perfect balance of leeks, brie, and vegetable broth. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be making this again and again!
