Ingredients
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 leeks
- 2 handfuls of arugula - about 1/4 lb
- 4 heaping tbsp of grainy mustard
- 1/2 lb brie or cream cheese
- 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 1/2 cup of dark or amber beer
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the leeks. Cube the brie.
- In a medium pot, over medium heat, heat the butter and 3 tbsp olive oil.
- Add the garlic and leeks to the pot. Sweat the garlic and leeks until they are soft.
- Add the broth and beer. Simmer 10 minutes until the leeks are very soft.
- Add the brie, mustard and arugula. Simmer 5 minutes to wilt the arugula.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in batches using a regular blender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. The taste can be adjusted with the addition of more mustard, too!
Notes
- Serving suggestion – Top with chorizo sausage or smoked ham and serve with a grilled, smoked gouda cheese sandwich!
- For a vegan option, simply omit the brie and stir in 1/2 cup of soy cream. Adjust the amount of soy cream to taste.
