Ingredients

  • 1.5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 3 large cloves garlic
  • 6 cups fresh, whole, wild and raw chanterelle (pfifferlinge) mushrooms
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1.5 cups chopped fresh, wild chanterelles (pfifferlinge) browned and shrunk in butter
  • 6 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons white zinfandel
  • 3 tablespoons Better Than Bouillion: chicken base

Method

  • In a large pot on medium, heat oil and butter with onions and garlic. Saute until onions are soft and turning color, but not yet caramelized.
  • Add the whole, raw chanterelle mushrooms. Saute until shrunk and browned, between 7 and 10 minutes (depending on size, add more time). Drain water as needed, but save it to add to broth later.
  • Add the chicken base and thyme and coat vegetables as base melts, only a minute or two.
  • Once coated, stir in already cooked chanterelle pieces and the water. If you saved any water from cooking the mushrooms, add it now as well.
  • Heat, but do not boil. Add the wine. Enjoy!
