I found a sack of wild Chanterelles at Monterey Market the other day. They had been reduced for quick sale - a buck-fifty a pound! The sack was about 2 pounds. Now you know I couldn’t pass that up. Here’s what I did with them:

Ingredients
A stick of organic butter
Some delicious yellow potatoes from Full Belly Farm
The chanterelles
Two bulbs of organic garlic, also from FBF
Good sea salt (I like Baleine)
Organic milk

Roast the garlic.
Cook down the chanterelles in the butter.
Boil the potatoes.
Put the potato-boiling water into the chanterelle-butter and cook down to make a nice broth, adding the roasted garlic when it’s done
Peel the potatoes, saving the skins for the worm bin (they love those!)
Quick-pulse the potatoes with the broth in the blender or processor till you get chunky-creamy texture
Add some nice organic milk, I dunno, about a cup or so. Yall vegans could substitute olive oil for the butter and leave out the milk if you’re so inclined.
Get some salt in there.
Simmer it all down.
Wait till the next day and heat up.

Yell “oh my GAWD that’s some good soup!!”

Elbow someone out of your way to get another bowl. Repeat until you’re ready to burst. I did.
