I made this for Christmas dinner with raves from everybody. We also had mashed sweet potatoes with roasted walnuts and brown sugar. I put a couple of dollops on the chesnut soup serving and the results were unbelievably delicious.




Great Holiday Starter!

I made this with fresh chestnuts that I roasted the day before. Not worth all of the extra work, I definately will buy canned next time. Also made it with my leftover turkey stock from Thanskgiving. This is a rich and savory soup which can be served to the most discerning guest. Kudos Sara!




Fantastic!

This was great- I made it to use up leftover chestnuts from my Thanksgiving stuffing and it was just fantastic. So flavorful!

Made this soup as an appetizer for a prime rib dinner. What a wonderful starter! Our guests raved about it! To finish the dish, after portioning into individual bowls, I drizzled a bit more sherry on top of each. I topped the soup with a dollop of creme fraiche. Then, instead of the frizzled leek, I sprinkled a chopped roasted chestnut on the creme fraiche. Elegant!
