Hi, Tish! Your recipe is simmering on the stove as I type. It is DELICIOUS! I used Cream Sherry because I had on hand and goofed when I added all 6 tablespoons to the pan. I ended up still using 3 more tablespoons with the cornstarch. Sure didn't hurt the taste a bit. This is our first use of "Brie" and it won't be the last. Love cheese, but just haven't tried Brie before. Thanx for a great recipe! -
This tasted alot like cream of mushroom soup. And I couldn't get the brie cheese to melt. I cooked for a long time. But still worth trying. Smelled wonderful. -
this soup is awesome! Exactly like the one we had at an upscale eatery in town. I ddn't have shallots so used one clove of garlic, minced. I also left out the nutmeg. -
This is a very good soup. Next time I will try a better Brie cheese for more flavor - definately a hit with the family. -
Yummy! The mushrooms were so divine in it! I don't use alcohol in cooking, so used Juicy Juice Cherry flavor instead- just as yummy! I have been looking for a Cream of Brie recipe from an old Bed & Breakfast in Westminster, Maryland. This was just the ticket!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
