Chestnut Cappuccino Soup
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
With the complex carbohydrates from chestnuts the blood sugar level is kept in balance and unpleasant cravings are curbed. Leeks have an antibiotic and germ-inhibiting effect due to their essential oils - perfect for annoying infections.
If you like, you can also replace the leeks with 2 white onions, which also tastes very good. For a little crunch, you can sprinkle the finished soup with a handful of chopped walnuts.
