This creamy soup uses chestnut flour. Chestnut flour has a distinctive flavor that is enhanced by ginger. It’s good way to warm up a chilly night.

    Arrivo qui per risponderti e trovo una ttceria da copiare ho tanta zucca!!!Cmq le mele che ho usato io sono tipo mele annurche (provenienti dagli alberi della suocera), ma pensa che vadano bene anche selle golden o delle renette, sulla rivista non specificava il tipo di mele (le deliziose ad esempio, trovo che abbiano un odore troppo preminente). Ciao!!
