Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
• 4 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
• 1 serving Crusty bread or croutons (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the white wine, stirring to deglaze the pot and create a smooth base. Let it bubble for 1–2 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 5

Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Add the brie cheese cubes, a few pieces at a time, and stir until fully melted and incorporated. This should take about 5–7 minutes.

Step 7

Season the soup with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender, being cautious with the hot liquid.

Step 9

Return the soup to low heat and warm through, ensuring it does not boil.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately with crusty bread or croutons, if desired.
