Ingredients

4 servings

•

0.25 cup butter
•

1 small onion, minced
•

3 stalks celery, chopped
•

0.25 cup all-purpose flour
•

4 cups chicken stock

•

0.5 pound Brie cheese with the rind, cubed
•

0.5 cup heavy cream
•

1 tablespoon green bell pepper, cut into very fine matchsticks
•

1 tablespoon red bell pepper, cut into very fine matchsticks

Instructions

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook onions and celery until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook for 3 minutes, constantly stirring. Gradually whisk in chicken stock. Simmer until celery is tender, about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring. Stir in Brie cheese, and allow to melt for about 5 minutes.
Pour soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get soup moving before leaving it on to purée. Purée in batches until smooth, and pour into a clean pot. Heat soup to almost simmering over medium-low heat. Pour in cream. To serve, garnish with red and green pepper strips.
