They are particularly excellent for boosting immunity, helping to protect the body from external bacteria and viruses and effectively preventing colds. Enjoy the benefits of health with this smooth and sweet chestnut soup.
Main Ingredients- 15 chestnuts (if large, use about 30 small ones)
- 2 packs of Almond Breeze (using soy milk instead makes it even tastier)
- 1/2 onion
- A little bit of nuts (for garnish)
Seasoning- A pinch of Bamboo Salt (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of Bamboo Salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the chestnuts thoroughly and soak them in water for 1 hour. After an hour, place them in a steamer and boil over high heat for 25 minutes. Immediately after steaming, soak the cooked chestnuts in cold water for another hour; this will make them much easier to peel.
Step 2
Prepare 15 peeled chestnuts. If the chestnuts are small, use about 30. The amount of chestnuts will affect the soup’s consistency and flavor.
Step 3
In a medium-sized frying pan, sauté the half onion, thinly sliced. Caramelize the onions by cooking them slowly over time until they turn a deep brown color. This slow cooking process enhances their sweetness and deepens the flavor. Cooking over low heat is key.
Step 4
Now, add the 2 packs of Almond Breeze. Here’s a tip: using soy milk instead of Almond Breeze will result in an even smoother and richer soup. Feel free to choose based on your preference.
Step 5
Transfer the sautéed onions, peeled chestnuts, and Almond Breeze (or soy milk) into a blender. This step prepares the ingredients for blending.
Step 6
Using the blender, process all the ingredients until very smooth. Ensure there are no lumps. Once blended, pour the mixture into a frying pan, ready to be cooked.
Step 7
Cook the chestnut soup in the frying pan over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes. It’s important to stir constantly to prevent sticking. Cook until it reaches your desired consistency, and your delicious chestnut soup will be ready.
Step 8
Place the nuts into a bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin or knife. Crushing them so they have a slight texture, rather than being completely powdered, adds a nice bite.
Step 9
Serve the finished chestnut soup in a nice bowl. Sprinkle the finely crushed nuts on top for added flavor and texture. The soup is now beautifully presented and delicious.
Step 10
This chestnut soup is an excellent nutritious snack for babies who need to gain weight and can help boost immunity, preventing colds and minor illnesses. Consistent consumption can greatly contribute to maintaining good health.
