- Chipotle Roasted Chestnut Soup with Festive Garnish
I remember walking among the bustling crowds at Times Square a few years ago at Christmas time. There were the usual hot dog and bagel street vendors, but also carts full of roasted chestnuts for sale. It was so fun to get a paper cup full to munch on as we walked along. Chestnuts have a delicate roasted flavor when fresh and warm.
When I saw a recipe for Roasted Chestnut Soup in this month’s Fine Cooking magazine, I knew I had to make a Southwest version of this. It turned out so yummy – Our newest holiday culinary tradition begins!
