🍲 What Makes This Recipe So Good
If you’ve ever had the oyster brie soup from The Hollywood Brown Derby at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios theme park, then you already know exactly how incredible this soup is! Creamy, luxurious, and so indulgent. I love it so much, I couldn’t resist coming up with an at-home version I could enjoy between trips. There’s a reason it’s one of their signature dishes! The flavors and textures of this soup are unbelievable. Everything’s seasoned beautifully, so there’s a perfect balance that allows the flavors of the oysters, brie, and champagne to shine. Much like the restaurant itself, oyster brie soup is a star in its own right, with a touch of that old-Hollywood glitz and glamour. Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, dinner parties, special occasions, celebrations – WHATEVER! – you absolutely can’t go wrong if you serve this soup. It’s unique and a little elegant, guaranteed to impress any guest and set the mood for a memorable meal. Pair it with champagne, wine, or a bold cocktail. Follow it up with an amazing entrée. Filet mignon, lobster, an impressive chicken dish, or your favorite pasta would all be great options!
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Oysters are naturally pretty salty, so keep that in mind when you’re cooking. Avoid adding too much salt to the soup, or you’ll overpower the rest of the flavors. With most recipes, the quality of the ingredients you use is important. With oysters (and brie, honestly) it’s even more important! Both ingredients are key to this recipe and super prominent in the final dish. Make sure your oysters are fresh and high-quality, and that they’re cleaned and shucked well. For the cheese, use a bold, ripe, high-quality brie to guarantee the flavor comes through. Taste it before you use it – if you don’t like the way that particular brie tastes on its own, that may not be the flavor you want for your soup. Be so careful not to overcook the oysters. Like scallops, shrimp, and other seafood, they don’t need very long at all. Just a few minutes, until they’re heated through completely, is really all it takes. Any longer and they’ll be rubbery, dense, and incredibly unpleasant. With something like oyster brie soup, I like to really dress it up, presentation-wise. Use your nicer bowls. Serve it with a wonderfully crusty bread. Oh, and don’t skip the garnish! It has a visual impact, sure, but it also adds just a little extra flavor.
