Pfifferling (Chanterelle) Soup
This classic German soup is made from Chanterelles and is always on he menu of restaurants in the Black Forest region of Germany. Deliciously creamy, it's a doddle to make and tastes absolutely wonderful. If you can't find any Chanterelles, it can also be made with any wild-foraged mushrooms - we particularly like Shaggy Ink Caps!
