I love the Canadian landscape. It reminds me a lot of my home Bavaria – just with less people/tourists in cheap Dirndl-Dresses and windcheaters. Off course everything is way bigger, higher, steeper – just more extreme than cute little Bavaria with its deep forests, its soft, rolling hills and clear lakes.
But it’s definitely quite a bit colder here and while most Canadians still seem to be perfectly warm in just a T-Shirt and a light sweater, I`m already well wrapped up in a million of layers. Contrary to its reputation, Germany doesn`t really get that cold. Like, seriously. We`ve had almost mediterranean summers for the last years and it was 15 degrees last Christmas. Celsius. No kidding.
So while we enjoy these last glorious autumn days outdoors, I already find myself working on my winter food repertory in preparation for the dreaded winter. And this Potato, Leek and Chestnut Soup should definitely be included! Its not only wonderfully creamy and warming. Its also bursting with the nutty flavours of chestnuts, which pairs just perfectly with potatoes and leek. A bit of Feta ( and maybe a bit of candied bacon on top??) – the perfect meal for a cold day.
