Brie soup, I like the sound of that.

I am not supposed to eat soft cheeses. I have never been a really big
cheese eater, likely because I am lactose intolerant. When I look at the
way some people wolf down cheese I am left wondering why they go for it.
But... I love Brie and find it really hard to resist.

I'm eating cheese on toast right now

Why not get tested, even for curiosities sake? I did for wheat a few
years ago since I was being tested for allergens anyway (hay fever)
and I asked them to also test wheat, and my suspicions were confirmed.

How about camembert? Fairly similar. A rabbit or chicken camembert pie
is so delicious, as would one made from brie.

They are quite similar. There used to be a Danish restaurant in the area
that served a deep fried camembert dessert with strawberry jam. It was
delicious.

If it is merely lactose intolerance, then a lactase supplement like Lactaid
will solve that.

True... but having dealt with the side effects of eating milks
products for years, I never developed an affinity for cheese, except for
Brie. I love that stuff.

Sounds interesting and tasty, never had anything like that myself.

Currently wondering what to do for dinner tonight. Had trout for
breakfast and sea bream for dinner last night at a friend's place, so
certainly no fish for me today. I'm thinking chicken right now, pretty
sure I have some thigh fillet in the freezer.

LOL I added the croutons. And yes, I heated the soup in the bowl
(medium-high) the microwave.

Seems to me I tasted it once before (many years ago).

I looked up some recipes and found a few but most are nothing like this
nice creamy cheese soup. Given the consistency, I'd say whatever
vegetables were added to the base were sauteed, then pureed. I'm
confident when I say are no mushrooms in this soup. Mushrooms seem to
pop up in searches for recipes for brie soup. Nope, no mushrooms.

Hi Jill,

Here is a different one for you.

It makes about 4 cups soup.

1 cup small sliced potatoes, waxy types preferred
1 cup small diced eddo * (Japanese small taro)
2 cups deep chicken broth
3oz brie

* Taro has to be cooked to be edible. If cooked to the same level you
would eat a boiled potato, totally safe. Peel under running water or
with gloves if sensitive to it.

This is generally added to a small crockpot (the type that holds 5 cups
max and is fondue pot looking) with the cheese added after the rest is
just about ready. I use a small blender to smooth it out and then add
a few salad croutons on top.

I see no need for mushrooms to be an essential ingredient.

Ya' gotta add something, in there, to provide some much needed
flavor.

Sure, I should have mentioned substituting the mushrooms, say with
leeks or whatever floats your boat. Just doesnt necessarily have to be
mushrooms...
