Chanterelle Fenouil Soup

Submitted by Chevalier Marin

"Delicious summer soup which can be served hot or cold. A short departure from the classic Vichyssoise, and certainly easier to make!"

• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, chopped
• 1 fennel bulb, chopped
• 2 shallots, finely diced
• 2 medium potatoes, skin off, chopped
• 1 cup milk (or half & half, for a richer soup!)
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• paprika

directions

1. In a large soup pot, add the Olive Oil, shallots and fennel. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until the shallots and fennel become fragrant.
