    This is a very good soup. I usually make Emeril's roasted chesnut soup which is different but also good. I added one leek, and the soup definitely needed an acid balance with the rich flavors, so I added the juice of a half meyer lemon which it really needed to brighten up the flavors correctly.

    This is fabulous. I made it for Christmas dinner, and I think it will become my new tradition. I used already peeled and cooked chestnuts from Trader Joe's, which helped with the expense. Everyone went back for seconds, and said it was the best soup I had ever made.

    Wonderful soup. Made it for our gourmet club dinner and everyone raved. I used a less chestnuts (because of the expense and added some shitake and oyster mushrooms and it was delicious! This recipe is a keeper!

    If you like chestnut soup, this is the recipe to follow.. the only change I made was I added one leek. Creme Fraiche is a perfect accompaniment. YUMM-O! Definitely going to make this soup for Thanksgiving. Although peeling the chestnuts wasn't the most fun... you may want to do that in advance.

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

    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!

    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.
