Cook the chestnuts for about 15 minutes in boiling salted water with a bay leaf and rosemary. Let cool, then peel them and set them aside.
Chop the shallot and brown it with the oil and a few sage leaves in a pan. Cook the squash for 15 minutes, or until it is soft, by adding vegetable broth or hot water, and flavouring for a few minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, add the chestnuts too, keeping some aside for decoration, and cook for a few minutes more. Take off the heat. Blend everything together until smooth.
If necessary, add some salt and pepper and nutmeg. You can serve your squash and chestnut soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and crumbled chestnuts.
