Two ticks at once, and on your bum! The horror!
I'm having a good time, although I miss the geek and my family and I imagine that those feelings will only get worse before I see them.

Chanterelle soup can be made much the same as any home made mushroom soup from scratch. You rinse the shrooms and saute them with leeks or onions in butter and if you want to, you can add some dry white wine after a while. (the wine is not necessary)After a while you add some half and half and some mushroom or veggie broth, let simmer for a bit. If needed add a thickening agent of your preference (or let simmer longer). End with some parsley or fresh thyme.
I play the recipe by ear, but you can really use any good shroom soup recipe you have.
