Indulge in luxurious chestnut soup with chicken broth and Marsala wine - a sophisticated side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 2 jars (7.4 oz each) whole roasted chestnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Crème fraîche or sour cream
  • Chopped roasted chestnuts
  • Cracked black pepper
Instructions:
  • In a 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Saute onion and celery in butter until tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Mix in chopped chestnuts and cook for 2 minutes. (Save some chestnut pieces for optional garnish.) Pour in wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in broth, whipping cream, salt, and white pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Blend half of the soup in a blender until smooth. Return to saucepan and repeat with the remaining soup. Stir in nutmeg and heat until simmering. Serve hot, garnished with crème fraîche, chopped chestnuts, and black pepper.
