Breakfast at the Chestnut Hill Inn is not just a meal...it's an experience!

 

Chestnut Hill BnB - Gourmet Breakfast

 

At our Virginia country inn, we take great pride in serving our guests the finest freshly made breakfast items daily. Each morning begins at 8:00 with fresh-roasted coffee as well as a wide selection of herbal and caffeinated teas. Prepare to treat yourself to a gourmet meal beginning with fresh fruit followed by our delicious southern breakfast.

Whether it's just you or you and your traveling companion, just ask us. Private tables are available in our social room and on one of two sun porches overlooking the scenic rear lawn.


Let us know and with a little advance notice we can modify our recipes to meet almost any food allergy and special dietary needs you may have. Yes, we can and are happy to accommodate your vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and other needs.


Breakfast is usually served between 8 and 9 a.m. but may be served earlier or later with prior arrangement. If you have a really early departure requirement, we'll be happy to prepare our "Early Breakfast to Go" filled with fresh home baked treats, fruit and "go cups" for your coffee.

 

"The elegance of the offerings combined with the quality display made us feel extremely well served in a way that exceeded our expectations."

 


Irish Potato Soup with Cheese and Red Ale

Ingredients

* 4 tablespoons butter, divided
* 2 cups yellow onion, chopped
* 3 medium leeks (white and light green portions only), sliced
* 3/4 cup sliced celery
*8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, coarsely chopped
*1 can (12 oz.) Irish Red Ale
*4 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
*3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
*4 cups whole or 2% milk
*7 oz. Kerrygold Dubliner cheese, grated
*3/4 cup finely minced parsley (optional)

Instructions

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 6 to 8 quart stockpot.  Add onion, leek, and celery; cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

Add potatoes, ale, stock, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.

Melt remaining butter in a medium saucepan; gradually add flour, whisking until smooth.  Cook 3 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.  Slowly stir in milk, whisking until hot and thickened.  Add cheese; stir until melted.
