Chanterelle Soup Revisited

Chanterelles being one of my very very very favourite foods ever (they?re definitely in my Top5 favourite foods, even though I?m not sure what other 4 foods make the Top? I guess lemons and? what else..?), I couldn?t resist highlighting this recipe again. We wrote about Chanterelle soup as one of our first blog entries a year ago. We?ve already made it twice this summer, with a few tweaks, and I thought this lovely summer mushroom soup was worth mentioning once again.

Another super-addictive food I?ve had today was wild strawberries. I?m a wild strawberry maniac. Their scent, one of Nature?s sweetest and daintiest perfumes, makes me tremble. Unfortunately these tiny gems are quite expensive, so I don?t think I?ll have more wild strawberries this year? we?ll see. Perhaps it would be a sacrilege to, say, bake with them, but I?d love to try. I?ve had those delicious wild strawberry and cottage cheese tarts at a French bakery near my office, and they were oh so good!

Chanterelle Soup recipe can be found here. This year we?ve been making it with 8 baby potatoes and no onions at all. Instead, we sautéed 2 carrots with a tablespoon of butter, and added them to the soup together with mushrooms. And, you can skip garlic if you prefer a milder flavour.
