Creamy Chestnut Soup Recipe
Of all the courses Appetizer happens to be my favorite and Chestnut Soup the recipe that represents it. The primary ingredient in this is Vegetable. It is a great Appetizer. Bookmark this Chestnut Soup page, otherwise you might regret your decision later.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb. chestnuts
2 tsp. sugar
1 oz. chopped bacon
1 pt. water
1 large potato
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large carrot
About 1 pt. hot stock
1 bay leaf
Croutons of fried bread
Directions
Cut the tops off the chestnuts and bake them in the oven or grill them for 20 minutes.
Remove the shells and the skins.
Slice the vegetables.
Put chestnuts, bacon, vegetables, sugar, and water in a pan and cook gently until tender - about 3/4 hour.
Rub through a sieve or put in the blender and add sufficient hot stock to make it the right consistency for serving, or like thin cream.
Heat for a minute or two longer, and taste for seasoning.
