Chestnut Soup

I really enjoyed this soup, despite the fact that I have (fondly) renamed it Pond Water Soup for the color. Next time I make it, I'm going to add a garnish of crumbled goat cheese or feta, snipped herbs, and dried cranberries to give it a bit more color on presentation... I made this when fresh chestnuts were out of season, but Trader Joe's sells vacuum-sealed steamed chestnuts year-round, and that's what I've used every time - great alternative.
