Ingredients for 6 servings:

  • 350 g chestnuts
  • 1 large onion(s)
  • 700 ml water
  • 2 tsp vegetable broth, instant
  • 1 cube of bouillon (beef bouillon)
  • 1 cup of cream
  • ½ tsp clove(s)
  • 1 pinch(s) cinnamon powder
  • pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

completely without bacon!

Peel the chestnuts. Chop the onion (it doesn’t need to be very fine, as everything will be pureed at the end) and sauté in a little oil until translucent. Add the chestnuts, stir, and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Puree, adding a little water if the soup isn’t thick enough. Serve and enjoy! This soup was created through experimentation, as we don’t like the classic chestnut soup with bacon and ham. If you omit the beef stock, it’s completely vegetarian! Add a little salt, though. Tip: The chestnuts are great for peeling without pre-cooking if you cut them deeply and microwave them for 1 1/2 minutes.
