3 ounces white wine
2 ounces carrots, julienned

Melt butter in sauce pan over low heat. Add flour and mix well, cooking until it just starts to turn golden. Add stock and whip vigorously, bring to boil and reduce to simmer.

Strain through fine sieve.
Return veloute to sauce pan over low heat and add brie cheese, cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted. Add wine and vegetables and simmer lightly until the vegetables are al dente.
Heat heavy cream over low heat and add to soup.
