Chestnut Pear Soup

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.

 
  • 300 g Cooked chestnuts
  • 1 Small onion
  • 2 Pears
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 500 ml Vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • Nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped
  1. Cut the cooked chestnuts in half. Peel and dice the onions. Peel and core the pears and cut into cubes.
  2. 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.
  3. Finely puree the chestnut soup with a stick blender. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. Finely chop the parsley leaves.
  4. Sprinkle the soup with parsley before serving. If desired, refine the soup with a blob of crème fraîche.

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

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.

very difficult to get chestnuts here! sometimes you see them in winter in the supermarkets vacuum-packed but not often. Love your mugs!

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! :)

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!

Great idea for chestnut soup and I like that you added pear for sweetness and fruit notes to balance the nuttiness
