For two years I looked at a vacuum pack of chestnuts in my cupboard, and then finally threw it out last week. Very bad timing, reading this recipe. (And I also received a gift of dried porcini from my sister who came to visit.)

I love chestnut everything so I look forward to making this soup. Since I always buy canned chickpeas I would like to know if I am missing the boat by not buying dried chickpeas and soaking them myself? I but dried lentils, split peas, navy beans, etc. Not sure why I don't buy dried chickpeas, except perhaps because it is more unfamiliar. Thank you!

dried chickpeas are great! rachel roddy's pasta e ceci is a super recipe to have them with - with olive oil and parmesan on top.

Loveeee the sound of this - chestnuts are super popular in Germany where I’m living, but it’s not something I’m accustomed to cooking with. Can’t wait to try this!
