Ingredients List
- 3 cups cubed white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups sliced leeks {white & light green parts}
- 1 rib celery, chopped

- freshly ground black pepper {to taste}

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay the cubed bread out on a baking sheet & bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until mostly dried.

Add the leek mixture to the mixing bowl with the bread. Stir in the chestnuts, cream & parsley. Check for seasoning & add a bit more salt & pepper, as desired.
