The best chestnut & cauliflower soup<\/h3>\n
I love fall. Its colours and lights are an excuse to get up at the crack of dawn and admire the forest waking-up.<\/div>\n
I am an early riser and when my trainings allow me, I run in the mountain. The sight is incredible and I can loose myself up there for hours. Looking back at it, I think that fall is the only period were I run for real, I love October’s fresh sensation that caresses us.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Fall as this comforting “little something”, which, once you’re back home, makes you fell in a cosy nest. The freshness settles to make us thing about winter time.<\/div>\n
I’d love to have a van to get lost in the forest, a small cocoon in the middle of nowhere seeking for wonderfull landscape and little treasures: Mushrooms, chestnuts, wild plants… There’s so many things to discover in between to running sessions.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It is with this in mind that Maud, a good friend, and I went picking chestnuts at the sun rise. I have been told about a magical spot in the Alps, Aiguebelette, where there was plainly of chestnuts up to the road. I was curious to see it.<\/div>\n
It was 5.45 when the alarm ringed, we were ready in not time to cross roads to discover the perfect spot. With a “not very efficient” GPS, we finally found the road and were facing the trees after a few turns. Let me tell you that what was said was true, chestnuts were flooding and when the lights pierced the woods, the spectacle was magical.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Everything could have went perfectly if we had though about gloves, of course, chestnuts pricks and what a pain! A couple of spikes were super happy to nest in our poor little hands.<\/div>\n
A couples of pictures and a full basket later, the morning was already well started.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Everyone has their savoy or sweet favourite chestnuts recipes. I did a “fall spread” on the blog I work for. It’s in french though but I’ll share it with you in english here soon!<\/div>\n
But today, I wanted to cook you an easy yet delicious soup. A true ode to fall and its softness, it subtil association to cauliflower is enhanced by the roasted walnuts and the parmesan cheese.<\/div>\n
For the vegans, just replace the cheese by thin slices of raw fennel.<\/div>\n
This soup can be served as a started if you host some friends of as a main dish. Perfect for a lovely Sunday evening.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have a lovely evening,<\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/div>\n
1 cauliflower<\/div>\n
200 gr. of boiled chestnuts (during 40 minutes)<\/div>\n
2 hands of wallnuts<\/div>\n
Parmesan cheese<\/div>\n
1\/4 tsp lemon peel powder<\/div>\n
4 “real” pinches of black pepper<\/div>\n
Salt<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Direction<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Roast the walnuts for 20 minutes at 350 F.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Use a pressure cooker and cook the cauliflower, diced, for about 4 to 5 minutes in the water. Keep the cooking water.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. In a blender, add the cauliflower, the water (about 1,5 cup), the chestnuts and the spices.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Blend well, the more you’ll blend, the creamier and smoother it will get.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. We’re all set, poor the soup in a bowl and top with the nuts and the cheese.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
