Ingredients:

Serving

4 sprigs fresh parsley
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lb chestnuts , roasted, peeled
2 tbsp butter
2 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup carrot, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 tsp sea salt
2 bay leaves , snapped in two
1/4 tsp nutmeg, grated
8 cups vegetable broth
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup 10% cream

Directions:

Make a bouquet of herbs by tying the sprigs of parsley and thyme together with butcher twine. Set aside a few of the chestnuts; chop into small pieces (these will be used as a garnish later).
Place butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, carrot celery and chestnuts. Cook until vegetables start to soften, about 5-6 minutes; add salt and pepper, bay leaves, nutmeg and the herb boquet.
Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil; simmer for 30-35 minutes, until chestnuts are soft.
Remove the herb bouquet and bay leaves. Pour soup into a blender and purée.
Return to saucepan and add both types of cream; keep at low heat until ready to to serve.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a sprig of fresh thyme and some chopped chestnuts.
DELICIOUS!
