This great soup reciep is very subtly flavored, so be sure to use strong vegetable stock. Accompany the soup with a crusty baguette and mixed greens for a complete meal.
Ingredients:
* 4 cups strong vegetable stock
* 8 ounces cooked chestnuts
* 1 cup chopped white onions
* 1/2 cup chopped carrots
* 1 thin celery stalk with leaves, chopped (1/2 cup chopped celery)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 3/4 cup plus 1/4 cup crème fraiche, divided
Preparation:
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vegetable stock, chestnuts, onions, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper to a simmer. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low-medium, and simmer the soup for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in 3/4 cup of the crème fraiche.
Process the soup, in batches, in a blender until smooth. Alternately, use a hand-held immersion blender to process the mixture. Spoon the soup into serving bowls while hot, and then garnish with the remaining crème fraiche.
This chestnut soup recipe makes about 10 servings....and are ready to serve. Great taste !
