Parsley-Root Soup with Truffled Chestnuts

Ingredients for Parsley-Root Soup with Truffled Chestnuts

• 240g chopped onion (1 large)

• 3 spicchi d'aglio, tritati

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1.4kg parsley root (about 2.0kg total with tops), tops discarded and root peeled and chopped

• 3 (4- to 5-inch) sprigs thyme

• 1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California

• 1/2 teaspoons white pepper

• 1450ml water

• 725ml reduced-sodium chicken broth

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 8 to 10 peeled roasted whole chestnuts (from a 200g jar)

Cook onion and garlic in butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add parsley root, thyme, bay leaf, white pepper, and 3/4 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until parsley root begins to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add water and broth and simmer, partially covered, until parsley root is very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.

Discard thyme and bay leaf and stir in oil. Purée soup in batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), transferring to a bowl. If soup is too thick, thin to desired consistency with water. Season with salt, then return to cleaned pot to keep warm, covered, until ready to serve.

Shave chestnuts with an adjustable-blade slicer or sharp vegetable peeler as thinly as possible over each serving.
