CREAMY CHESTNUT SOUP
This creamy chestnut soup, or "Soupe Aux Marrons" is a wholesome soup and a French favorite all throughout Winter. Fresh chestnuts are simmered in an aromatic broth and then pureed until smooth, creating a luxuriously thick, creamy texture with the full-on sweet buttery taste of fresh chestnuts. This is a delicious starter to cozy up to and impress with over the Holiday season. Fresh chestnuts are the stars of this soup. Indeed, this soup recipe takes a simplistic approach and is all about allowing the taste of fresh, seasonal chestnuts...

Steps:
- Step 1 (to unpeel fresh chestnuts, see section above for detailed instructions*) - Score your chestnuts with an "X", deep enough to cut through the outer skin and transfer the chestnuts to a pot of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the chestnuts from the water, wrap them in a kitchen towel and let cool until cool enough to handle and peel the chestnuts.
- Step 2 - Fill a large pot over medium heat with the chicken stock and chestnuts. Add the bay leaf, bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 25-30 minutes with a lid on (or only 15-20 minutes if using already cooked chestnuts), until the chestnuts are fork-tender.
- Reserve about 4-6 chestnuts aside and chop them roughly (for garnish later). Discard the bay leaf.
- Step 3 - Using an immersion blender, mix the chestnuts until smooth. - or, working in batches, purée soup in a blender until smooth and return soup to saucepan. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook soup for 3-5 extra minutes until slightly thick. If the soup is too thin for your liking, continue to cook it. If the soup is too creamy-thick for your liking, stir in more water or heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time.
- For serving, ladle soup into individual bowls. Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of crème fraiche, chopped chive and the reserved chopped chestnuts. Enjoy immediately.
