The sweet chestnut has a high starch content - similar to potatoes. This ensures a sweet aroma and a particularly creamy consistency. The soup becomes naturally creamy, so to speak. And, by the way, it is also gluten-free and dairy free. The beauty of this soup is that it's quick and easy to make. You can safely use vacuum-packed chestnuts or those from the jar. They are already pre-cooked and peeled. The pear just adds a fresh, slightly fruity note. And goes perfectly with the nutty-sweet taste of the chestnuts.

- Cut the cooked chestnuts in half. Peel and dice the onions. Peel and core the pears and cut into cubes.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and fry the onions briefly. Add the chestnuts and pears and fry for another 3-5 minutes. Deglaze with vegetable broth and simmer the soup over medium heat for 30 minutes.
- Finely puree the chestnut soup with a stick blender. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. Finely chop the parsley leaves.
- Sprinkle the soup with parsley before serving. If desired, refine the soup with a blob of crème fraîche.

I love love love this cream!....I can't find chestnuts here....I would love to try this soup!!.....Abrazotes, Marcela
It's Judee from Gluten Free A-Z Blog. this soup sounds absolutely wonderful and so easy to make. It looks beautiful and I love that it is vegan too. Very different and perfect for the holidays.
Nice idea to add pear to this chestnut soup, it must be very sweet!
Yummy
That really looks good and it is soup season!
...now this is something new for me.
Gracias por la receta, me gusta mucho . Te mando un beso.
what an interesting recipe-and I love chestnuts too
Never have this soup before. Pear soup, clear soup yes. Not creamy type.
Well that is soup that's different.
I have never had chestnuts either, but I did see a local u-pick farm is advertising them. I have no idea if they would be sweet or not, but I could look for a canned version in some of the speciality grocers nearby
This is like restaurant grade cuisine here. Looks amazing too
Riquísima! Adoro las sopas!!
Angie, eres una genia!!
Delicious! I love soups!🥣
Angie, you are a genius!🙋♀️
wish to eat this kind of soup during cold season...
look tasteful and wonderful
It is not something I would find lecker, but I do adore the colours of your cups, mugs and lil' saucers. I only like my chestnuts roasted and also in chestnut dessert with rum.
GM Angie, What a beautiful combination of fall flavors. I have chestnuts in a packet in the pantry. I will give this try. Bernadette, http://newclassicrecipe.com.
This sounds wonderful, my mouth is watering!
che meraviglia!
Looks delicious and perfect for a chilly day.
Even though it's a very hot day here, I would love to taste your soup Angie. looks absolutely delightful, and beautifully presented in your mugs.
have a great day
very difficult to get chestnuts here! sometimes you see them in winter in the supermarkets vacuum-packed but not often. Love your mugs!
I love chestnut and pear. Looks and sounds delicious.
Une superbe soupe avec de jolies captures
Me encanta la sopa de castañas, la preparo siempre en Navidad, pero no le pongo peras, así que tomo nota de la tuya.
Un beso.
Another new food combination that I would never have paired together, but it sounds delicious, and I do like thick, creamy soups. It has to be worth a try, thanks for sharing! :)
I would never have even imagined such a delightful combination. Looks wonderful.
Deliziosa, ottima per queste fresche serate!!!
What a yummy warm soup for a cold day! I haven't cooked with chestnuts in years, and paired with pears sounds wonderful!!
Wow! As a soup lover I thought I had just about had every combination of sop possible. I was wrong! Must try this!
It sounds and looks yum!

Lovely

Wow, I can't even imagine what this must taste like. I'll bet it'd make a fantastic course for a holiday meal.
Great, we have both used wonderful chestnuts for our cream, it turned out fantastic, with a very fine and pleasant texture.
Happy week.😘
I have chestnuts!! This sounds absolutely delicious, and, as always, your presentation is lovely.
Intrigued! I've never had chestnut (or pear) soup before. Yum.
I never thought to make chestnut soup. This is a very good idea and a fun use of the chestnuts. Clever! I love it.
I don't think all of your posts are showing up in my reading list. I miss getting a few every now and again. I had the yummiest pear the other day. I bet this tastes wonderful. hugs-Erika
Every time I make another chestnut soup, I think: "That's all, Ben. You've tried all possible combinations, and there's nothing new left." But nope - Every time I come up / find a new idea. And I must say I never thought of pairing chestnuts with pears. Amazing - I need to try this!
So good, good idea to add pear with chesnut.
I love, love chestnuts! And they are so delicious in soups with their creamy texture. And so brilliant with pears. :-) ~Valentina
This is certainly unique, I never had thought of this combination and I am loving it.
Great idea for chestnut soup and I like that you added pear for sweetness and fruit notes to balance the nuttiness
