Ingredients

5 cups chopped leeks (white portion only)

1/4 cup butter

5 cups chicken broth

4 -1/2 cups half-and-half cream divided

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

3 packages (8 ounces each) Brie or Camembert cheese, rind removed

3 tablespoons snipped chives

Optional: couple of dashes of smoked paprika, and some chopped mushrooms.

Directions

In a soup kettle (I used a 12 qt. stock pot), saute leeks in butter until tender. (Can add the mushrooms here.)

Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes.

Strain, reserving broth in pan

Place leeks in a blender with 1/2 cup of the broth; cover and process until smooth. Return to the pan. Stir in 3 cups cream.

Combine the flour, salt, pepper and remaining cream until smooth; stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.

Cut Brie into small pieces; add to soup in batches, stirring until most of the cheese is melted.

Garnish with chives.
