This recipe definitely does not fall under an easy weeknight meal like most of my other recipes do, but it is so delicious I had to share. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving or a first course for a dinner party. Once I year, I lovingly, painstakingly peel fresh chestnuts to make this soup because it’s that good!! Peeling fresh chestnuts is a labor of love, they just have a mind of their own. Some come out of the shell perfectly and others just refuse. This method of peeling generally works pretty well but I never have an easy time no matter which method I’ve used. I’ve seen pre-peeled chestnuts before but I’ve never used them for this recipe so if you try them let me know how the soup turns out!
