Categories: Italian, Silvia, Soups
Yield: 6 Servings

1 kg Chestnuts
30 g Butter
30 g Parmesan Cheese
1 Glass Fresh Cream
2 Stock Cubes
Packet Bread
Pepper

Score the chestnuts with a small pointed knife and roast them in a suitable
pan (it is also possible to buy 300 g ready prepared roasted chestnuts).
Peel them carefully and put them in a casserole with one and a half litres
of cold water and two stock cubes. Bring to the boil over a moderate heat,
let them boil for 15 minutes and then add the cream, one turn of the pepper
mill, a pinch of nutmeg and the grated cheese. Stir well and boil for a
further 5 minutes. Tip the soup into the mixer bowl and process the mixture
for several minutes.

Re-heat if necessary, and serve with small cubes of bread made from the
packet bread cut up and fried in butter.
