Porcini and Chestnut Soup

This soup combines nutritious ingredients for a healthy yet indulgent dish. Chestnuts are low in fat but rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Porcini mushrooms provide protein, B vitamins, and immune-supporting compounds. To make healthier, use milk instead of cream or try coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. For a lighter version, skip the cream and rely on chestnuts for natural creaminess. This soup is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by omitting dairy. The combination of mushrooms and chestnuts creates a satisfying meal with relatively few calories.
