Scallops and Roasted Chestnut Soup Recipe | Club Foody

 

During the Holidays, we entertain a lot and I like to serve semi-formal dinners which most of the time, is a 6-course meal. There’s hors d’oeuvres, soup, appetizer, salad, main course and dessert. When it comes to soup, I’m very picky… I want something elegant. It can be a nice Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup Gratinée, Cream of Mushroom, Butternut Squash or this featured one… Scallops and Roasted Chestnut Soup!
 
This recipe which I created years ago is always a hit! It’s so delicious with a nice combination of ingredients. It’s elegant and refined… perfect for the Holidays! Another bonus about this soup is it’s quick and easy to make. From start to finish in just half an hour, you have a gorgeous soup to serve to your guests…
 
I love scallops! These are my top favorites although I won’t say no to lobster, crab, mussels, oysters, clams, escargots, and so on. Scallops are not only considered one of the healthiest seafoods but they’re also so tasty! They’re rich in vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and have a low fat content as well.
 
As soon as I see chestnuts at my supermarket, I think of this Scallops and Roasted Chestnut Soup. This is a favorite during Thanksgiving and all the way to January as long as I can find fresh chestnuts in the stores as they’re an important component for this recipe.
 
Chestnuts are typically available only for a few months during the year; from October to December which put them into the “holiday tradition” category. Cooking with them is awesome! Their sweet nutty flavor gives any savory or sweet dish a lovely taste especially when they’re roasted! If you’ve never prepped fresh chestnuts before, here’s a link to learn how… How to Roast Chestnuts in the Oven
