Fast fine chestnut soup for weather change
Just in time for the slowly worsening weather, I'm getting into mood. What did we have for a wonderful November in Cologne! There was exactly one rainy day and there it just rippled for a short time. Can you imagine that? In the whole of November I did not even have an umbrella with me! When I recited the "November" poem by Heinrich Seidel as a child, I could not even fervently recite this year. Nothing with romping, annoyance, no sunshine or moaning storm winds.
The weather in this form has been on hold since October - a temperate 10 ° C, sunshine during the day. Just great.
However, the water level of the Rhine is slowly becoming scarce. Interesting and rather unusual dry period. I'm a little bit worried now that we'll do it twice in December. Let's wait and see. Starting tomorrow, at any rate in December and from tomorrow the rain should gain entry.
That's why it announced today evening only once a fast, beautiful and very soothing chestnut soup, which fortifies me against the upcoming fall weather.
Goes easy and fast, but tastes nice nutty and spicy, although it requires only a few ingredients. And it's also vegetarian if you use vegetable broth!
