Wow, if you love chestnuts and shrooms you will love this combination. It is definitely a very rich and savory satisfying bowl of soup. The touch of black truffle butter gives it another dimension of flavor. This could be served as an appetizer in shooter glasses and be a wonderful addition to a larger meal or just by itself with some fresh baked rolls like I had. I want to make this for the holidays this year as well. I hope you enjoy my combination of flavors in this savory soup. ~~~(Thanks to Sherri Logan Williams for introducing me to truffle love! XOXO)
