LOBSTER SOUP
A recipe Mom has used since I can remember. A special treat at Thanksgiving. Always a hit! For better flavor simmer for hours, adding cream during last hour or so. May also may be made the day before. Do not add cream until ready to reheat to serve.

CHESTNUT SOUP WITH BACON AND CHIVES
Steps:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until rendered and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the fat. In the same saucepan, melt the butter, and add the carrot, celery, leek, and shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until softened and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add broth and chestnuts to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and cook until all the ingredients are soft, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, and purée in batches in a blender until very smooth. Return to saucepan, add the cream, and heat thoroughly, adding stock to thin if needed. (A spoon should not leave a trail on the surface of the soup.)
- Season with salt and pepper and ladle into warmed shallow bowls. Garnish with the reserved bacon, a dab of crème fraîche, chives, and a pinch of nutmeg.
FAST, EASY, ELEGANT CHESTNUT SOUP
This is from an idea in a French women's magazine. I want to make chestnut soup for my French inlaws for Christmas dinner instead of those nasty, hard chestnuts they are always serving. I have been auditioning soups. This is the winner. Would be great garnished with some very crispy bacon or pancetta.

Steps:
- This is really easy.
- Put everything except the cream, salt and pepper in a soup pot.
- Bring to boil, turn dow, and cook gently for 30 minutes.
- Mush up the chestnuts a bit with a fork.
- Decide if you want the soup a bit chunky, or really smooth.
- I prefer the smooth version.
- For both, use immersion blender to the point where you like the look of the soup for a chunky version.
- For the really smooth version, blend in blender after using the immersion blender until it reaches the consistency you like.
- Taste, check for seasoning, add salt and pepper, stir in cream.
- If it is too thick, add a bit of stock or water.
- I liked it best a bit thick.

To serve to with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, a bit of chopped parsley and some cooked chopped chestnuts just before serving. High quality vegetable broth can be substituted for the chicken broth.
