Ingrediënten

2 cups chestnuts

1 onion (roughly chopped)

1 ½ litre vegetable stock

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoon cream

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

salt and pepper (to taste)

herbs (for garnishing)

Instructies

In a pan, heat olive oil and tip in the chopped onions. Sauté until they are translucent but have not changed in colour.

Then add in the cooked chestnuts and top with the vegetable stock.

Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil then gently simmer for around 10 - 15 minutes. Add more water if necessary.

Once the chestnuts have softened, blend the mixture to achieve a velvety soup.

Add back into the pan to heat and add water to loosen if needed.

Add in the cream and grate over the nutmeg/use ground nutmeg.

Serve and finish with more cream and herbs. I have used thyme. Optionally grate over more nutmeg.
