Chestnut Soup
Festive and comforting, this chestnut soup works great as a first course at any holiday gathering, or just as a special seasonal treat any night of the week. There are layers of flavors here that reveal themselves as you work your way through a cup or bowl, and despite the cream base, it’s not too heavy. You’re gonna love this one, whether you roast the chestnuts on an open fire or not. (Bacon not pictured. Please use your imagination. And… go! Doesn’t that look delicious?)

Ingredients
Steps
Small dice celery and onion.
In a medium soup pot, over medium heat, melt butter, add onion and celery.
Cook bacon strips in a separate pan and reserve.
Cook until butter begins to brown (about 10 minutes) then add chopped chestnuts.
Once you can smell the toasted chestnut, add sage and pork stock.
Let Simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to ensure the chestnuts do not stick to the bottom.
Add cream in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Crumble bacon strips over top when you serve.
