Cream of Chanterelle Soup
"Mushroom season is just over and this soup was a hit. Regular white or button mushrooms are very good too. You could use dried chanterelle, just reconstitute them in hot water before using."

This made a fantastic soup. We doubled the recipe and used fresh mushrooms (half chanterelles and half sweet tooth). It was so good that I went back to the farmers' market and stocked up on more mushrooms so I can make another batch this week. Thanks for posting this! -
It was so delicious! My husband said it was the best soup he has ever eaten (and he's not a mushroom eater!). It is amazing how flavorful it was! I'm going to try to make it without the cream next time and use an immersion blender. -
Excellent! We had Chanterelle mushrooms, and another wild mushroom that a friend gave us. Thanks for the recipe!

This is an extremely delicious and elegant soup. So very easy to make! I love it! Don't mess with the recipe, it really is perfect just the way it is written. -
We hit the Chanterelle jackpot this year, and made plenty of soup. This recipe was great, and while the adults loved it, my 2 and 4 year old children came back for more!!

I made a topping by setting aside a few choice pieces of mushroom, cutting them up into small pieces and frying them with garlic in a little oil and butter till they were a bit crunchy. Yum! I also blended it in hopes that my 4-year old daughter would eat it too, but alas...she refused despite my persistence.

I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures. It's heaven!
