Creamy Chanterelle and Pumpkin Soup

Bright, golden-orange, with the scent of autumn — and incredibly inviting. Once you get your hands on chanterelles, you want to eat your fill to last until next year. I used to have a bit of a hang-up about store-bought mushrooms, but this year that barrier came down, and chanterelles have been showing up in all kinds of dishes in my kitchen for three weeks running.
