Steps:
- To Cook Chestnuts: With a sharp knife, slice an 'X' across each chestnut. Place chestnuts in a single layer on a jelly roll pan. Pour 1/4 cup water into the pan. Bake in a preheated 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, shell and peel.
- In a large saucepan combine the chicken stock, shelled chestnuts and chopped onions. Place the parsley sprigs, cloves and bay leaf in a spice bag and add to the chicken stock mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes.
- Discard the spice bag and puree the chestnut mixture in a food processor or blender. Add the heavy cream, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Return mixture to saucepan and gently heat through. To serve to with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, a bit of chopped parsley and some cooked chopped chestnuts just before serving. High quality vegetable broth can be substituted for the chicken broth.

ROASTED CHESTNUT SOUP
I found the basis for this soup on another website but didn't have all the ingredients called for so I adapted it to suit my less gourmet pantry. I was pleasantly surprised when my non-gourmet pantry turned out this gourmet quality soup! This soup is perfect for an autumn or winter day. I use it as a 1st course for Thanksgiving dinner. It is a savory, slightly sweet soup that will give you a new appreciation for the American chestnut.

Steps:
- Roast chestnuts in a 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Whether you're using fresh, canned or vacuum packed chestnuts you still need to do this step.
- While chestnuts are roasting, heat oil in 4 quart pot over medium high heat. Add butter. Allow oil and butter to melt together. Add in onions, carrots, celery and saute for 8 to 10 minutes until they are softened. Add soy sauce and chestnuts. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat. Stir frequently. Add water. Bring to a simmer. Leave uncovered and continue simmering for 25 to 30 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Add parsley and sage.
- Using an immersion or standard blender, puree soup. After pureeing the soup you can stir in the wine if you'd like. Serve!

ROASTED CHESTNUT SOUP
Steps:
- If you have skinned chestnuts, proceed to step 2. If your chestnuts still have their skins, preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a sharp (preferably curved) paring knife to make an X on their flat sides. Roast them in one layer in a baking pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until their skins begin to open away from the meat. They will then be easy to peel; remove both outer and inner skins while they are warm. (The peeled chestnuts will cook faster if you chop them roughly, but it isn't necessary.)
- Meanwhile (if you have skinned chestnuts, start here), put the olive oil or butter in a deep skillet or casserole over medium heat. A couple of minutes later, add the celery, onion, and a good sprinkling of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the stock and the chestnuts, bring to a boil, and partially cover. Adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers and cook until the chestnuts are mushy, about 30 minutes.
- Carefully puree the soup in a blender (if you are not in a hurry, cool it slightly first for extra caution). Measure and add water to make 6 cups of liquid. Reheat, adjust the seasoning if necessary, garnish with celery leaves or parsley, and serve.
- Variations
- I like to elaborate on this soup in two ways, depending on what I've got in the fridge and whether meat eaters are coming to dinner:
- Chestnut Soup with Bacon: Start by rendering 1/4 cup or so of diced slab bacon; scoop out the solids and reserve them for garnish, then sauté the celery and onion in the rendered fat and proceed as directed.
- Chestnut Soup with Shiitakes: Garnish the soup with a cup or so of shiitake mushrooms (caps only), sliced and sautéed in butter or oil until crisp.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring the chicken bouillon to a boil over high heat. Add the chestnuts, bacon, fennel, salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat. Discard the bacon.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the chestnuts from the broth and place them in a food processor. Add about 2 cups of the broth and process to a smooth puree. Add additional broth, if needed. Pour the puree back into the saucepan with the remaining broth. Add the goat's milk or yogurt and stir well to combine. Correct the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if desired. Heat gently and serve garnished with fresh fennel sprigs.
DARK ROASTED CHESTNUT SOUP
Steps:
- Sweat vegetables and chestnuts in whole butter until very aromatic and onions are tender. Wrap all remaining ingredients in cheesecloth, to easily separate them from the soup. In a separate pot, slowly reduce the heavy cream by almost half. Do not over boil.
- Add fortified stock liberally to cover vegetables (it will reduce). Add herbs wrapped in cheesecloth. Let simmer for 1 hour until chestnuts very tender and stock has been reduced slightly. (Make sure there's still enough stock to cover the mixture.)
- Remove cheeseclothed herbs and add reduced heavy cream. Puree mixture carefully. Adjust seasoning as necessary and strain.

FAST, EASY, ELEGANT CHESTNUT SOUP
This is from an idea in a French women's magazine. I want to make chestnut soup for my French inlaws for Christmas dinner instead of those nasty, hard chestnuts they are always serving. I have been auditioning soups. This is the winner. Would be great garnished with some very crispy bacon or pancetta.

Steps:
- This is really easy.
- Put everything except the cream, salt and pepper in a soup pot.
- Bring to boil, turn dow, and cook gently for 30 minutes.
- Mush up the chestnuts a bit with a fork.
- Decide if you want the soup a bit chunky, or really smooth.
- I prefer the smooth version.
- For both, use immersion blender to the point where you like the look of the soup for a chunky version.
- For the really smooth version, blend in blender after using the immersion blender until it reaches the consistency you like.
- Taste, check for seasoning, add salt and pepper, stir in cream.
- If it is too thick, add a bit of stock or water.
- I liked it best a bit thick.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a sharp paring knife or a chestnut knife, score each chestnut; either make an "x" on one side of nut, or make one long slit crosswise. Place chestnuts in a single layer on a baking pan, and bake until flesh is tender and golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Using a clean kitchen towel, immediately peel shells. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 1 week.
