You picked a fine wine to cheese me, Lucille

This recipe was given to me by a former neighbor. It's rich and definitely not low-cal. But if you wanted that you would not be reading me.

Missouri Wine and Brie Cheese Soup(4 servings)
1 tsp. minced garlic
4 Tb. butter
1/2 lb. mushrooms sliced
1 small onion chopped
4 Tb. flour
2 c. beef broth
1 c. white wine
8 oz. brie(rind removed, cut into chunks)
1 c. cream or half and half
salt and pepper to taste

Saute mushrooms, onion and garlic in butter over med-low heat until soft.
Add flour and stir for 1 min.
Add broth and wine, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 10 min.
Add cream and chunks of brie and stir until brie is melted.
Take off heat and season to taste.
serve immediately
