- Discard the spice bag and puree the chestnut mixture in a food processor or blender. Add the heavy cream, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Return mixture to saucepan and gently heat through. To serve to with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, a bit of chopped parsley and some cooked chopped chestnuts just before serving. High quality vegetable broth can be substituted for the chicken broth.

Steps:
- To make the Armagnac prunes, start early in the day or the night before. In a saucepan, mix 1/2 cup of water and the 1/2 cup of Armagnac or Cognac. Add prunes, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover and let steep 6 hours or overnight. Prunes can be kept in an airtight jar at room temperature until ready for use.
- To make the mushroom juice, wash the mushrooms, put them in a saucepan, cover with water and simmer for one hour. Strain, and then discard mushrooms. There should be a cup or more of mushroom juice. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
- To make the porcini powder, place dried mushrooms in a blender or coffee grinder, and pulverize. Store in an airtight container until ready for use.
- To make the soup, preheat oven to 375 degrees. With a sharp paring knife, score each chestnut by making an "X" on the round side. Place chestnuts in a single layer on a baking tray, and roast on middle level of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the shell skin curls. Remove from oven, and let rest until cool enough to handle. Peel off and discard the shells, and reserve the chestnuts.
- In a large, heavy saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add diced celery root, and cook gently for 5 minutes without browning. Add peeled chestnuts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in the sugar, raise the heat and cook a few minutes, until mixture caramelizes. Add the 1/4 cup of Armagnac or Cognac, and cook a minute. Add the mushroom juice and the chicken stock, lower heat and cook slowly for 15 minutes. Add heavy cream, and cook 5 minutes longer.
- Remove mixture from the heat, and let cool about 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender, making sure the lid is on tightly. Working in two batches if necessary, puree the soup. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Strain through a fine sieve. (The soup can be made up to this point a day in advance. Cover, and refrigerate.)
- Return soup to a saucepan, and reheat. Put one drained prune in each of 8 soup bowls or cups. Put skim milk in a tall, slender container, and add 1/4 teaspoon of the porcini powder and the nutmeg. Using the nozzle on an espresso machine or a separate foaming device, foam the hot milk.
- Pour equal amounts of the soup into the soup bowls, top with a scoop of the milk foam, a shaving of optional black truffle, and a parsley leaf. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken well inside and out with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.
- Put chicken stock in a large pot, and bring to a boil, covered, over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cheesecloth sachet. (If the chicken is not totally covered by the stock, cut it in half through the backbone). Return the stock to a boil, uncovered, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the chicken, skimming frequently, about 45 minutes, or until it is so tender the meat begins to pull away from the leg bone.
- Remove chicken to a platter, and reserve chicken broth. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin. Remove meat and discard bones. Cut meat into bite-size pieces, and reserve.
- Strain chicken broth into a large saucepan, and discard the sachet. (Soup can be refrigerated at this point and finished right before serving.) Remove 1 cup broth to a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Prepare avgolemono using this cup of broth.
- Bring the rest of the soup to a boil, and add the reserved chicken pieces. Keep hot over a low flame.
- Put the avgolemono in a stainless steel bowl, and gradually add a few ladles of the hot chicken soup, whisking constantly. When thoroughly combined, slowly pour the avgolemono into the soup, whisking continously. Stir in the dill, and add salt and pepper if desired.
- To serve, ladle the soup into warm bowls, and sprinkle each with equal amounts of shredded lettuce and scallions.

Steps:
- Preparing the Chestnuts - Roasting Method: Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Using a sharp paring knife, make a shallow horizontal cut into the chestnut meat, all around the chestnut. Repeat with each one. After slicing each chestnut, place them on an oven proof pan and roast until tender, about 30- to 40 minutes. Work as quickly as possible, it's easiest when they are still warm. Use a dish towel to hold each chestnut as you peel them so you don't burn your fingers. Remove the shell and brown papery skin underneath. Set aside and repeat with the remaining chestnuts.
- Preparing the Chestnuts - Boiling Method: Place chestnuts in a pot, large enough to hold them, and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender. Peel as above. Remove them from the hot water only as you peel them, keeping the others warm. Set aside.
- In a 4 quart pan, heat the olive oil with the butter and paprika. Add the onion and sauté it until it turns golden. Add the garlic and cook just until the garlic is aromatic.
- Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the chestnuts and simmer for 10 minutes on medium-low. Remove six chestnuts from the pot and set aside. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the bread to the pot and allow the bread to absorb the broth and become mushy. Using a stick blender, puree the soup.
- Pour the soup through a sieve, pressing it through. Return the soup to the pot and add the cilantro or parsley. Keep warm until serving. Just before serving, quickly stir in the cream.
- Garnish each bowl with a whole or crumbled chestnut.
- Variation: After straining the soup, return to the boil and add ¼ to 1/3 cup short -grain rice to the pot. Simmer 10 minutes, then continue as written.
