Preparation
Slice 6 very thin apple wedges to be used for garnish. Sprinkle with lemon juice or cover tightly with plastic wrap (to prevent browning). Peel, core and chop remaining apple.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, cook until tender, about 5 min. Add parsnips, potato, chicken broth and thyme.
Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently until vegetables are very tender, about 15 min. Purée in batches until very smooth.
Return to saucepan. Leaving on the rind, cut ¾ of Brie into cubes. Add to soup and stir until cheese is melted (rind will not completely melt). Cut remaining Brie into small slices. Place a Brie slice on each apple wedge. Place on soup, then garnish with micro-greens and a vegetable chip. Add pepper just before serving.
Tips
Cheese alternatives: Canadian Cheddar, Gouda.
