The last Soup! Apple Brie Soup

Hey there Girls... It looks like my soup is the last soup in this round so I thought I would end on a sweet note.

please remember the measurements can be adjusted according to your individual taste..especially when it comes to the spices.
Apple Brie Soup
ING: 1/2 c your favorite white wine
1/2 c sugar
2 tbs butter
5 med to large apples (i prefer gala/fugi and maybe a couple of granny smith)
1 1/2 c half & half
1 c milk
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
7 oz brie cheese
another note: i tend to make this soup "from the hip" so to speak. I usually make it from memory and by taste. It really is a simple soup to make.
basically what i do is start by peeling the apples, core and slice them and if you wanna chop them up a lil you can. In soup pot over med-low to med heat add wine,vanilla, sugar, butter and apples to pan,(stir it around a bit to coat apples w/liquid mixtre) once the wine has warmed up and begun to infuse some of the apples and the sugar begins to disolve (this will really be just a few minutes) add half and half along with the milk, salt and chunked brie cheese (rhine removed)(tip: i use a potatoe peeler to remove the rhine from the brie) add your pinch of salt and Heat thourghly but do not allow to boil,cause you don't want to burn the milk...your apples will beging to soften. Now it is time to blend.... you can transfer with ladel to blender or use a hand blender right in the pan. You want to blend soup well so there is no chunks but keeps a consistancy kinda like applesauce maybe just a little thinner. This is when your soup will thicken and take on a delious new texture. If you've transfered to your blender pour soup back in soup pot and stir in spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. Note: if your soup is a little to thin you can let simmer and reduce a bit. Serve pleasently hot! mmm I hope you guys love it.
