Instructions
  1. Heat a medium pot with butter.
  2. Chop up the onions and the garlic in small pieces and add to the melted butter. Let cook on medium heat for a few minutes.
  3. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces and then add them to the pot. Don’t worry if your pot is completely full by now. As the mushrooms contain mainly water, the volume will reduce a lot. Stir occasionally.
  4. Now cut the chestnuts into pieces and add them to the pot. Continue stirring.
  5. Turn on high heat. Once everything has heated up and got some colour, you can add the white wine. The wine should almost disappear, then add the stock and the cream.
  6. Add the spices and blend everything until a thick soup forms. Taste the soup and if needed re-season and blend quickly again.
  7. Put into a small bowl.
  8. Optional: Heat up a small pan with some butter and add the remaining mushrooms. Fry them until they are golden brown.
  9. Once browned, add them on top of your bowl of soup and put some extra freshly ground pepper over the soup.
  10. Serve with some white wine (or fresh apple juice) and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

If you want to make the full version of my menu you find the remaining dishes here: main – desert. I strongly recommend you prepare the soup a day in advance. This will make your live much easier on the big day. You only need to reheat it (it’s going to taste really amazing) and prepare the garnish if you want to add it. This will make your festive dinner much more relaxed and enjoyable – not only for your guests, but also or rather especially for the host 😉
