Great soup, and was a hit for my Christmas dinner. However the 10 minute prep time is way off. Only could find raw chestnuts so had to roast and peel myself. Peeling was not easy, and I had to use several family members to get the job done. Even without the roasting, plan on taking longer to make soup and dumplings. Even with the extra work even my kids loved the soup and I would consider this soup a special dish always.




Big Hit

We have made this recipe for many holidays and always get rave reviews. We have found that jarred chestnuts are the way to go. Frozen dumplings work fine too.




Wonderful Soup for the holidays

We've made this dish during the holidays since 2000/2001. When we've brought it over to thanksgiving dinner when all of the family gets together, it's usually the thing that disapears first when people get up for seconds! The quatre d'epices in the dumplings really give it that holiday flavor. Highly recommended.
