I wish this soup would have had an actual brie flavor instead of all the thyme flavor. I made some adjustments to mine. I used plain soy milk instead of skim. I did not blend it in anyway. I added instant mashed potatoes to thicken it as mine did not ever seem to thicken. I dont think this was a BAD soup at all I just bumped it up a notch to make it a heartier soup.

My slightly-altered version of this soup may not have been as *trim* as you intended, but was sure a *terrific* hit w/dinner guests last nite. Served w/homemade bread as a starter course, I was afraid they might not have room for the main meal as 2nd helpings were dished & the recipe shared. I did not use skim milk, pureed it the pt of leaving some sml chunks for texture & added approx 8 oz pre-cooked Icelandic baby shrimp (altho this touch certainly was not necessary). DH & I will have sml portions to enjoy today & this rich w/no sin + lovely soup will clearly have encores at our table. Thx for posting it for us. :-)
