Recipe Talk

A friend told me of this type of soup and swore up and down that is was the best thing he has ever taisted... I have tried to look up the recipe on-line without success. :(... So if there is anyone out there that knows anything about this please respond.

Thank you so much

I found a sherry and brie soup, maybe you could try substituting the sherry for champagne. Worth a shot anyway.

SHERRY AND BRIE SOUP

2 c. cream sherry
2 tbsp. butter
6 c. sliced mushrooms (1 1/2 lbs.)
2/3 c. minced shallots
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. flour
4 c. beef stock
4 oz. trimmed brie
2 c. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. pepper

In a large pot reduce sherry to half volume. Melt butter in a medium saucepan and stir in mushrooms, shallots and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in flour. Return to heat and add beef stock and reduced sherry. Bring to a boil, simmer covered for 25 minutes. Add brie and stir until melted. Add cream and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with more brie and chives. Serve with French bread. Serves: 4.
