Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large shallots, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
3 large thyme sprigs
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into (1-inch) cubes (about 3 1/2 cups)
5 cups water
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
12 bottled cooked chestnuts, chopped (1/2 cup)

This soup is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week.
