- 1 lb. of chestnuts
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1 minced onion
- 1 Tbsp. of flour

Mash chestnuts well. Combine with milk and beat until smooth, then set the mixture aside. In your soup pot, melt butter, add onion and simmer until soft and golden. Sprinkle with flour, salt, nutmeg, pepper, and celery leaves. Stir in the cream. Heat and serve garnished with parsley or croutons. Makes about three cups. Note: All cream soups are ruined by boiling, so be sure to hear just to the boiling point or cook it in the top of a double boiler.
