• 1 teaspoon ground sage

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir zucchini, onion, and garlic in hot oil until moisture comes from the zucchini, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Pour chicken stock and milk into the pot; bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir ground sage, salt, and pepper into the stock mixture; cook at a simmer for 20 minutes. Add Brie cheese; cook and stir until melted completely into the liquid, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour blended soup through a strainer into a clean pot. Puree in batches until smooth.

Step 4

Stir cream into the blended soup and place pot over medium-low heat; cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Garnish individual servings with fresh sage leaves.
