In reply to Janie P.

Hi Janie – thanks so much for letting me know you’d tried this out and enjoyed the soup. I completely agree – the orange juice is what really makes the soup work!

Wonderful soup – nicely textured – we used 750 ml stock and it was good for two hearty meals – don’t ne tempted to leave out the orange juice – it really lifts the flavour.

Hi Sophie!

Just wanted to say this looks like an absolutely awesome soup, and that we very much like what you’re doing here!

I don’t know if you’re aware, but we’ve recently started running a monthly competition for the Soup of the Month range that we produce. This month’s theme is Valentine’s day, but we have a whole host of themes coming up in the future.

We’d love you to check the site out, and would love it even more if you submitted a recipe to the comp (this one would be perfect!) http://bit.ly/oTeAAU

Many thanks :)

I just made this, very good but I needed more and I didn’t double it, so I added more broth,
two cooked potatoes, two handfuls of sharp chedder cheese and some ground red pepper.
Yum!!! Hope my book club likes it.
Thanks for the recipe!

I finally got around to making this yesterday. It was a great fall dish and I really loved the orange in both the yogurt and the soup.

What a beautiful bowl of soup, Sophie. Parsnips and chestnuts are plentiful in the markets right now and I’m thinking I’ll give this recipe a try!

Wendy – I enjoyed your January soup recipe too!
Christina – definitely worth giving this one a try I think. It’s easy but tastes really good, though I say it myself
Hi Nora – I had ‘lost’ your blog as well! I’m intrigued that you get roasted chestnuts in Singapore as it hadn’t occurred to me that you would have many chestnut trees
Annemarie – go on, give it a whirl, you know you want to!
Julie – I might try roasting the chestnuts next time just to taste the difference but I’m with you on this, most of the time it’s just too fiddly
Deb – a secret, just between us two – this is the first time I’ve cooked anything with chestnuts in it so you are in good company. I’m getting really into them now!
Hi Stef – in England vacuum packed is often all you can get. The supermarkets just tend to sell fresh as a seasonal novelty for the couple of weeks just before Christmas
Susan – cauliflower and chestnuts sounds great – I’ll look out for that
Rosie – welcome!
Sam B – I’m so pleased you tried this out and liked it – many thanks for letting me know that it turned out well! I hope your wife enjoyed it when she got home from work
Johanna – I always feel a bit bad posting very wintery recipes and knowing that they are completely wrong for you guys in Australia. But then I remember that you are merrily enjoying your lovely Summer :-)

that looks absolutely divine – I just need some winter weather and a place to buy chestnuts – maybe this will be the inspiration I need to get me finding a shop selling chestnuts
