Chestnut Soup
  1. Soak chestnuts in water for 5 hrs or overnight, pat dry, and roast for about 20-30 mins or until the shells split open. Peel and set aside.

  2. Render pancetta until golden and crispy. Remove from the pot and set aside, leaving the fat behind.

  3. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion, leek, and garlic.

  4. Soak porcini mushrooms in a bowl, reserving ¾ cup soaking liquid for later.

  5. In the same pot as the aromatics, add chestnuts, soaked porcini mushrooms, apples, allspice and nutmeg. Deglaze with Marsala, then pour chicken broth, mushroom soaking liquid and thyme. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

  6. Blend until smooth. Stir in cream, season with salt and pepper.

  7. Serve and enjoy!
