Cook: 30 mins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup chopped carrots (2 medium)
- 1 cup sliced celery (2 stalks)
- 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 14 ounce can chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups half-and-half, light cream or whole milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 8 to 9 ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
- 1 4 1/2 ounce round Brie or Camembert cheese, rind removed and cut up
- Croutons (optional)
Directions
1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cook and stir till tender. Add broth, white pepper, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
2. In a large screw-top jar combine half-and-half and flour. Cover and shake well until smooth; stir into soup. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.
3. Stir in chicken, whipping cream, artichoke hearts, spinach and Brie. Cook and stir over medium-low heat about 5 minutes more or till heated through and cheese is melted. (Stir often to make sure soup doesnt scorch on bottom of saucepan.) Serve topped with croutons, if you like. Makes 8 side-dish or 4 main-dish servings.
I love this soup. I double it as the Brie I first bought was bigger, 9 oz. I used 2% milk in place of the half and half. I also substituted a can of artichokes packed in water. Has become a favorite of my friends.

I usually add more quarterd frozen artichokes. Sometimes I use fresh spinach. I usually use half and half, although I've thought about trying it with milk to apease my guilt about the fat. Decided it wasn't worth messing with success! Delicious!!!
