Ingredients

  • 1 pound of chestnuts, peeled and roasted
  • 1 medium celery root, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Мethod of preparation

Begin by roasting the chestnuts. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make a small cut in each chestnut to prevent them from bursting during cooking, and roast them for about 20 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and set them aside. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant. Introduce the diced celery root, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the roasted chestnuts, ensuring they are well mixed with the aromatic base. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes or until the celery root is tender. Remove from heat and carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender. Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream, followed by a generous shake of freshly ground nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup heat through without boiling, then ladle it into bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color and serve with your choice of bread or biscuits.
