Probabaly not a good idea; Marsala wine tends to be amber, has a smokey flavor, and can be dry, semisweet, or sweet, depending on the way it is aged. It is an apertif, and found in many deserts. A lot of foods call for it; however, it's not the same as your standard 'white cooking wine'. * Obviously, it depends on what you are trying to do. * If it's good enough to cook with, it's good enough to drink, IMHO. And for sure if you would not drink it, don't cook with it.

Haven't really heard of using Marsala Wine in Chestnut soup. if you are looking for what ingredients they mainly use in Chestnut Soup, then here is a short and simple list.

Ingredients are :

2 tablespoons of butter

1/2 pounds of chestnuts

2 cups of chicken stock

1 teaspoon of ground coriander

1/4 cup sherry

1 tsp of lemon juice

salt as per taste

2 tbsp of flour and

2 cups of milk

Here's how you can prepare it:

1. Get a cooking pot and place inside 1/2 pound of chestnuts and cover with water. Give it a medium cooking heat and boil for 10 minutes. When its little hot, start removing the chestnuts and peel them. This will make it easier for removing the inside skin.

2. Next to the pot, add 2 cups of chicken stock and add blanched chestnuts to it.

3. For Mashing the Chestnuts, get a sleeve.

4. Next, get a nice clean bowl and mix 2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoon of flour and 2 tablespoon of butter thoroughly and add to it, chestnuts and chicken stock. As per your taste, season the dish with salt ,1/4 cup of sherry, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander.

That's all, the chestnuts soup is prepared. Hope this helps.

No. To make marsala sauce you MUST use Marsala wine. Merlot wine does not taste anything like it and is not a suitable substitute.

It's your recipe, you can do anything you want. It's a little bit of an odd substitution, though. Marsala is not as alcoholic as cognac, and doesn't taste at all the same.

Chicken Marsala is traditionally made with Marsala Wine. But If you want to use Sherry wine.

The better the wine the better the flavor.
