Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup Champagne or sparkling wine
• 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Champagne or sparkling wine.

Step 7

Add the Brie cheese cubes, whisking until completely melted and smooth.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and white pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until it reaches a silky, smooth consistency. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree, then return to the pot.

Step 10

Reheat the soup gently, if needed, but do not let it boil.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives.

Step 12

Serve immediately with crusty bread or a light salad on the side.
