Recipe:<\/h3>\n

\nShopping list for 4 portions<\/h3>\n

250g chestnuts
\n3 shallots
\n0,5 L beef stock
\n250 mL cream
\n200 mL cr\u00e8me faiche (or you can use sour cream with a 15% or higher fat content)
\n1 tbs. truffle oil (don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t have it)
\n1 lemon
\n1 pinch cayenne pepper
\n1 pinch salt
\n3 tsp. butter<\/p>\n

Preparation Time: approx. 30 minutes<\/p>\n

Directions for the Chestnut- Truffle-Cream Soup:<\/h2>\n

If the chestnuts you bought still have the shell on, first remove the shells. To do this you make an \u2018X\u2019 with a sharp knife in each chestnut. Put the chestnuts on a baking sheet (lined with baking paper). Place in oven at 392 Fahrenheit and bake until the shells start to peel away \u2013 around 10 minutes. Then you can peel the shells off with your fingers. (Make sure they are cool enough to touch first)<\/p>\n

While the chestnuts are in the oven, peel the shallots and chop them finely. Heat the butter in a pan, then sweat the shallots in the butter. Add the chestnuts and after 3 minutes add the beef stock. Simmer until the chestnuts have softened.<\/p>\n

Add the cream and cr\u00e8me fraiche and puree. If you want a very fine soup, you can then pass it through a sieve. But without it, the soup has a bit more charm: we have not passed it through a sieve.<\/p>\n

Add lemon, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a splash of truffle oil or grated truffles and with a dollop of cr\u00e8me fraiche.<\/p>\n

And as simple as that, you have a delicious winter soup: Bon app\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
