Apple and Brie Soup
Apple and Brie Soup is a creamy, sweet, and savory dish that blends tart apples with rich, buttery brie cheese. This velvety soup is perfect for an elegant starter or a comforting meal, offering a beautifully balanced flavor with a hint of fresh herbs and white wine.
Equipment
- Large pot For simmering the soup
- Blender or Immersion Blender For creating a smooth texture
- Ladle For serving the soup
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 8 ounces brie cheese rind removed, cut into small pieces
- 1 small shallot finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup white wine dry, such as Sauvignon Blanc
- ½ cup heavy cream optional, for extra creaminess
- 1 tablespoon butter for sautéing
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in diced apples and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.
- Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let cook for about 15 minutes until apples are tender.
- Blend the soup using an immersion blender or transfer in batches to a stand blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the brie cheese, allowing it to melt slowly into the soup. Stir continuously to prevent clumping.
- Stir in white wine, heavy cream (if using), salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
Notes
- For a sweeter version, use apple cider instead of wine.
- For a richer flavor, substitute part of the broth with cream.
- Pairs well with toasted nuts or crispy prosciutto as a topping.
