[Reply] - [link] - how do I thin the soup?....... - [om] - 2006/07/01 - 23:11

I tried this wonderful and wholesome recipe, and it came out nice, but a bit too thick, more like a paste. Any ideas on how to thin it out to make it more like a soup, other than just adding more water while cooking it? Thanks!

You could always skip the salt and then add some veggie broth.

Let us know if you get it perfect!

Well, I did perfect this, for my palate, anyway! I put a cup of the Chestnut/Apple "soup" in a saucepan, added 1/3-1/2 cup of evaporated soy milk, added 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and added a tablespoon of dried minced onion, for texture. Blend all together and simmer 'till hot. Since the onion in the original Chestnut/Apple Soup recipe was pureed into the soup, adding the minced onion at the end really gave it a nice texture. This came out very, very nice!
