I love how German restaurants offer seasonal dishes. As soon as the white asparagus time is over the Germans start eating chanterelle – and that’s in many possible combinations. My grandmother couldn’t imagine cooking a soup without cream in it – lucky me! Therefore I love all creamy soups. Even a small amount of cream in a soup can improve its flavor significantly.
Chanterelle can be served as a vegetarian dish with Knödel, with pork chops and Spätzle, in a salad, or as a soup. If I had to decide what combination is my favorite, I couldn’t. They are one of my favorite mushrooms: I can eat anything with them 🙂
For the beginning of chanterelle season, I decided to share with you my favorite chanterelle soup, which is very creamy and tasty. Go ahead and try it this summer!
