Chestnut Apple Soup

A delicious and light soup that we make all the time. It can be served warm, at room temperature or chilled. So it's perfect all year round. If you like chunkier soup, just simply reserve 1 cup or two soup before putting into the blender.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chestnuts are soft, about 15 minutes; cool slightly.

Working in batches, purée soup in blender until very smooth.

Return soup to pan and cook until heated through, adding more chicken broth by tablespoonfuls to thin as needed and stirring often, about 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Stir crème fraîche and minced thyme in small bowl.

Divide soup among bowls.

Drizzle with crème fraîche and serve.
