This decadent soup will add sparkle to any meal. Why not treat yourself and your most special dinner party guests to a soup that simply melts in your mouth.

Serves 4 - Cooking time: 40 minutes
120 g (4½ oz) ripe Camembert, diced
1 small knob butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
100 g (3½ oz) shallots, finely chopped
1 small potato, finely diced
225 ml (8 fl. oz) champagne
565 ml (1 pint) chicken stock
6 tablespoons single cream
Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Make sure the Camembert is at room temperature. If it is not ripe, simply remove the skin, because this will not melt in your soup.
Melt the butter and olive oil in a pan, add the garlic, shallots and potato, then cook without colouring until softened.
Pour in the champagne. After 1 minute add the stock and bring to the boil.
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until
the potato has broken down.
Add the Camembert and allow it to melt over a low heat, stirring gently.
Add the cream, season to taste, then heat gently for 2–3 minutes and serve.
