When it comes to food pairings, apples and brie make a delectable combination. There is something about the creamy cheese and the sweet crunch of an apple that makes this a winning pair. Whether you put in on crackers, or melted in a sandwich, it is always crowd pleaser at any time of the day. So when we can across this creamy brie and apple soup we could not wait to give it a whirl. We are big fans of soup when the weather gets colder, so awe are always on the hunt for new soup recipes. This one did not disappoint and it is super simple which we love! It is perfect for a Sunday evening, or to serve as the soup portion at a dinner party :)
