I have been making this recipe for years. It's easy to make and my family really enjoys it. It has become our soup course for every Thanksgiving dinner for the past 10 years. <div><br /></div><div>I would recommend buying fresh chestnuts and roasting them instead of using the canned version. It's more work but worth it.</div>
