Roasted Chestnut Soup with a Mushroom Garnish
Roasted chestnuts are a winter’s treat. If you have never peeled and eaten a freshly roasted chestnut, nor savored its aroma, then make this soup. Although peeling 2 pounds of chestnuts seems tedious, it can be done up to 2 weeks in advance. The peeled roasted chestnuts can be frozen, and then thawed at room temperature for 1 hour before using.
