Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups chestnuts
1 butternut squash
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
salt and pepper
4 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons soymilk
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Roast chestnuts as follows: cut a shallow X through the skin, place in a covered pan, and bake in the oven at 375 until the nuts are tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool about 5 minutes or so, then peel while still warm.
  • Clean and cube the squash. Boil in salted water about 10 minutes or until tender. Let cool about 5 minutes, then pull of the peels.
  • Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pan. Add onion, carrot, and celery, then season with salt and pepper. Cook about 3 minutes. Add the chestnuts, cover with broth and simmer gently until vegetables and chestnuts are quite soft. Add more broth, if necessary.
  • Blend the mixture with an immersion blender, or in batches in a regular blender or food processor, to make a puree. Return to the pot and gently reheat. Add the soy milk and parsley. Do not boil. Serve with good French bread and salad.

I'm allergic to chestnuts, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

The soup was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.
