I kept mine chunky because it is cold in Aspen and I love a chunky soup during the Winter. A friend told me today that when Chestnuts go on sale at William-Sonoma after the holidays, she is going to buy us a supply. I would make this more if I had a cheaper source for chestnuts. Yours looks mighty delicious with your homemade bread.<br /><br />Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-17928327908745000762013-11-20T19:09:36.125-05:002013-11-20T19:09:36.125-05:00Love your memories of the farm and its belongings....Love your memories of the farm and its belongings.
