Number Of Ingredients 9

30 chestnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups low-sodium store-bought or homemade Vegetable Stock
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 cloves Whole Roasted Garlic
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a small sharp knife or a chestnut knife, carve an "X" in the flat side of each chestnut. Place chestnuts in an even layer, "X" side-down on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and roast until opened, 10 to 12 minutes. Peel immediately, using a towel if chestnuts are too hot to touch; coarsely chop.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent. Add chestnuts and cook for about 1 minute. Add vegetable stock; bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Add molasses, maple syrup, and roasted garlic. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until chestnuts are soft, about 30 minutes more. Working in batches, carefully transfer to the jar of a blender; blend until smooth.

I'm not a big fan of chestnuts, but I decided to try this soup anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The chestnut puree was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors. The soup was also very creamy and comforting.

I was a bit skeptical about the chestnut puree, but it really worked well in this soup. The flavors all came together perfectly. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a hit!

This soup is amazing! The chestnut puree adds a rich and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the celery root and brussels sprouts. I also love the addition of chestnuts for a bit of texture. I will definitely be making this soup again!
