Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks and all mushrooms; sauté 8 minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually mix in stock. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Add cream and Sherry and simmer 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in green onions. (Soup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread slices on baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool. Top croutons with cheese slices.

Preheat broiler. Place 6 ovenproof bowls or soufflé dishes on baking sheet. Bring soup to simmer; ladle into bowls. Top each with 2 croutons. Broil until cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

This recipe yields 6 (first-course) servings.

Freezing the Brie firms it, so removing the rind and slicing the cheese are much easier.
