Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 12 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
• 1 cup Dry white wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0 optional Crusty bread or croutons (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, ensuring no lumps form.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking to combine the roux with the liquid.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and cubed brie cheese, allowing the cheese to melt completely into the soup. Stir regularly to ensure the soup is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

If using, add the dry white wine and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors.

Step 9

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.

Step 10

Using an immersion blender (or transferring to a blender in batches), puree the soup until completely smooth and velvety.

Step 11

Return the soup to the pot and gently reheat if necessary, but avoid boiling.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired, and accompanied by crusty bread or croutons.
