FFwD ~ Chestnut and Pear Soup

Its FFwD again

Chestnut and Pear Soup

saute onions first, then leek and celery

followed by pear, stock, then the chestnuts

after rapid boil, simmer for 45mins 

(or less depending on chestnuts used)

my variation was:

1 cup veg broth + 2 cups water (instead of 4 cups of stock)

1 sprig rosemary 

used frozen chestnuts

choose to serve it without the cream but used thin slices of pear for garnish

***

remember the main ingredients were leeks and celery,

so this was slightly thick (not runny) but delightfully light on the tongue!

(and cos I only use the blender for 10 secs) had bits of chestnuts to bite on!

Dorie Greenspan's Chestnut and Pear Soup

I had one and half serving of the soup in this bowl

for my dinner in addition to this salad and put the rest in the fridge

with instructions to DH that he needs to reheat the soup when

necessary, by the time I came home from work, 

all was gone ~ DH had it for lunch and dinner!
