Soup is a classic way to turn the holiday treat of roasted chestnuts into a light and lovely meal. This version is made more nutritious by swapping sour cream out and using plain, low-fat yogurt.
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole roasted, bottled chestnuts
- 2 cups chopped yellow onions
- ¾ cup thinly sliced carrots
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 6 cups fat-free, low sodium vegetable broth
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup low fat, plain greek yogurt
- 1½ tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place chestnuts on a jelly-roll pan and bake (15 minutes). Place chestnuts in a large bowl; cool to room temperature.
- Combine onion, carrot, and oil on pan; toss to coat vegetables. Bake until tender, stirring occasionally (1 hour). Add to chestnuts; stir in broth.
- Pour half of broth mixture into a blender; blend until smooth. Pour pureed mixture into a Dutch oven. Repeat procedure with remaining broth mixture.
- Stir in salt and pepper. Place pan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, and simmer (20 minutes).
- Ladle about 3/4 cup soup into each of 10 bowls; top each serving with about 1 tablespoon yogurt. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve immediately.
