    I loved this. It had a very unique (but delicious) flavor. Easy to make, even though I roasted my own chestnuts. Very comforting and slightly and pleasantly sweet

    This was surprisingly delicious! I made this because I needed to use up a leftover jar of roasted chestnuts. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, using 2 leeks as specified, and 2 ripe red pears. I used thyme for the herb. I puréed using the immersion blender for convenience, however, it would probably have been even better had I used the Vitamix to get a smoother consistency. The flavor was slightly sweet, very slightly nutty. The color was not that appetizing, but maybe adding a topping of some sort would overcome that. This would definitely be worth making again.
