Parsley-Root Soup with Truffled ChestnutsDitte Isager

Floating on the surface of this pale, silky soup, which tastes of the essence of parsley, is a trompe l'oeil surprise: What looks like shaved truffles is actually thinly sliced chestnuts, adding a nutty sweetness.

Cooks' note:

Soup, without chestnuts, can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then covered. Reheat over low heat, thinning with water if necessary. Shave chestnuts over soup just before serving.
