I'd say it should be fine to give it a shot - hope you enjoy it, we loved it!

Or should it be served immediately? I'm trying to plan ahead! It looks delicious, I'm really excited to serve it to my family. Thanks for sharing! Is this soup good to make ahead?

This soup looks so good though I may have to revisit the idea. Chestnuts are one of those things that I want to love, but can’t seem to get into the flavor.

I'm a little intimidated by them since I've never used them. But this soup looks so good, I might have to get over my intimidation! I’ve never actually had a chestnut.

Yes, chestnut does bring the familiar comfort with it, that same feeling I have if I get to have Mont Blanc. Anyway, I came across peeled chestnut in package, a product from China that is very popular here in Thailand so for that reason, I can skip the tedious shelling and peeling process. Maybe you have something like that there? Sawadee from Bangkok, Kris Jenn, this look so delicious!

We were definitely too slow the last time we were peeling chestnuts (we also had 2 lbs. that we roasted) and by the time they had cooled we had only gotten through about 1/4 of them. Will def. try the dishwashing glove idea next time! Oooh good idea!

The shells are easier to peel when it's really hot, and I don't cut myself as much. Beautiful garnish!
