Amuse-Bouche, Brie and Crab Soup image

Don't be scared, time to get fancy! I am totally into elegant dishes, and this is one of my favorites. Amuse-Boushe "a little bite" of a flavorful soup to begin a dinner party. This is NOT a large quantity soup, it is designed to be a small taste, prior to dinner. COOKS NOTE: This can be made ahead of time.

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons onions, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon lobster base

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly until the onions are soft and translucent, do not let it brown. About 5-8 minutes.

  • At this point, the soup can be covered and set aside until serving time.
  • Just before serving, heat the mixture and add the cream and brie cheese, do not let it boil.
  • Do a taste test; if too salty, add more cream; if not salty enough, add Kosher salt to taste.
