Ingredients

  • 400 g Nuts, chestnut, fresh

  • 1 bouquet Parsley, fresh

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 3 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 1 spoon Butter, unsalted

  • 500 ml Soup base, beef, cube

  • 3 pinch Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 100 ml Sweet cream

Steps

  1. Place the chestnuts in a large colander and rinse them quickly, then make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each. Place a pot with about one liter of water on the stove. Add the chestnuts and cook them on medium heat for about one hour. Once cooked, peel them with a sharp knife.

  2. Wash the parsley. Save a few sprigs for garnish, and remove the leaves from the rest. Peel the onion and garlic, then finely chop them. Place a saucepan on the stove and melt the butter in it. Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter for about 5 minutes.

  3. Pour in the broth and add the cooked chestnuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 20 minutes. Five minutes before the end of cooking, add the cream. Then transfer the prepared soup to a larger container and blend it with an immersion blender until smooth.

  4. Serve the soup in bowls, garnish with parsley, and offer it to your guests.
