Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Brush the mushrooms with a clean dish towel to clean them, do not rinse them.
- Trim the stem ends, and then quarter the mushrooms. Put on a dry baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing them a couple of times. They will lose their moisture, shrink up, and brown.
- Meanwhile melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the shallots for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and saute another 5 minutes until the shallot has softened.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for a minute. Add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan.
- Add the stock, the mushrooms, and the fresh thyme, and bring up to a simmer. Turn down the heat, cover and gently simmer for about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
- Add the cream and the cubed Brie. Stir to melt the cheese.
- Puree the soup, in batches. Taste to adjust the seasonings, and add a bit more stock or water if it seems too thick.
- Serve with a garnish of sliced mushrooms and more fresh thyme.
Notes
- here
- I prefer chicken stock in this soup, but you can also use beef or vegetable if you like.
- My cute pumpkin soup bowls came from Cost Plus, but you can find similar ones on Amazon, here.
- This soup reheats well, even in the microwave.
