BEST EVER MUSHROOM SOUP
This is a simple but warming soup which tastes so good you will never want tinned again! I learned it at school and have cooked it for years, including at sea for 15 hungry sailors who loved it! This soup is hard to get wrong. Don't skimp on the flour and add a little extra milk if it's too thick. Make sure the flour is all incorporated before adding liquid. Use closed cup, button, chestnut, oyster or mixed mushrooms. Using dark gilled or flat mushrooms will make a darker soup.

CREAMY CHANTERELLE MUSHROOM SOUP
This is a lovely French version of cream of mushroom soup using chanterelles, which can be a bit pricey, so if you find wild ones while foraging, use them with this recipe! Serve with croutons or crostini.

Steps:
- Rinse mushrooms and pat dry. Slice in half. Rinse off any bugs or dirt and chop.
- Melt butter in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir mushroom pieces into the shallots and toss in a generous pinch of salt to help draw out their juices. Add pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Continue to cook until mushroom pieces shrink in size and brown slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Pour chicken stock into the pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, 10 to 20 minutes.
- Ladle soup into a high-powered blender. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; blend on high until pureed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half-and-half and blend for 1 minute more. Return blended soup to the pot. Heat until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
