Mushroom Brie Soup

It's finally cooled off in Florida which means we are FREEZING. Time to make soups to warm our bones. We have a restaurant here that has a great mushroom brie soup, but instead of going out to eat I thought I could make it at home. This turned out so good!!! Even my 4 year old who "hates mushrooms" had two servings. 

What you need: 
16 oz mushrooms, quartered 
1/2lb Brie cheese 
32oz chicken broth 
2/3 cup heavy cream 
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried parsley 
1/2 onion,diced 
2-3 cloves garlic diced
4 tbsp butter 
S&P to taste 

How to:
1) Melt butter in pan 
2) Sauté onions and garlic in butter 
3) Add mushrooms till slightly caramelized
4) Put in pot with broth 
5) Add thyme, parsley and a little salt and pepper 
6) Add cheese 
7) Let simmer in low till cheese melts. 
8) Remove rind 
9) Add cream 
10) Take off heat
11) Purée 

Serve and enjoy!
