Mushroom Chestnut Soup with Cognac Cream and Frizzled Shallots!

Yes, this was intended as a holiday recipe. Yes, the season ran away with me, and I missed getting to you in time. But YES, this is a fabulously warm, comforting, cozy, and MEATLESS soup to make all winter long, and I want you to have it this weekend.

Fragrant with leeks, onions, and garlic…richly earthy with a medley of mushrooms and sweet chestnuts…drizzled with a dijon cognac cream and topped with crispy mushrooms, shallots, more chestnuts and fresh parsley…carnivores be warned: it’s perfect.

This was one of your all-time favorite recipes from The Chew days! A faintly sweet and nicely spiced, ultra-creamy gateway soup packed with plenty of plant protein and veg, it will definitely eat like a meal and keep you full. Pro tip: Top with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon or lime to boost the flavor and this soup’s detoxifying potential!

Serving you summertime in a bowl!

This cool, creamy soup is the perfect starter, light lunch, or a full meal if you just can’t get enough like me! Cucumber, scallions, and a gentle hit of sweetness from honeydew melon come together in a rich base of smooth, pureed almonds that give this soup so much body. I love adding in a touch of fresh mint and jalapeño to keep each bite exciting.

We’re making such a simple and glorious summer lunch today – gazpacho! I love a raw soup served cold on hot summer days, and even better when it’s as easy as this one. I’ve added watermelon to the mix with sun-ripened tomatoes, which gives it an extra burst of sweetness and hydration, plus tons of cucumbers, and a little pop of jalapeño! This recipe is great if you want to make it a day ahead and let the flavors meld overnight in the fridge.
