Chanterelles soup, Mushrooms croquette and crispy Sweet Potato

As autumn arrives, mushrooms become one of the season’s star ingredients. Their earthy flavour and unique texture make them perfect for comforting dishes. In this recipe, I'll show you how to prepare a delicious mushroom soup, ideal for those cooler days. Filled with autumn aromas, and made with simple ingredients, this soup is the perfect way to enjoy a warm and nourishing meal.

Do you remember the Mushrooms Croquettes from last week? They were super creamy. Well, apart from being a very tasty "Tapa", it is also an element of this week's new recipe.

With the leftover mushrooms, and an ingredient as seasonal as sweet potato, I have prepared a humble dish ideal for this winter, with very autumnal ingredients.

Crispy Sweet Potato.

You can cook Sweet potatoes in countless ways; roasted with skin, cooked, used in stews, fried and purees. It is a very versatile ingredient because besides the salty recipes you can use it in the preparation of desserts, cakes, jams, sweets and compotes.

I have prepared some chips with it to incorporate into our chanterelle soup. It has been perfect for what I wanted, but you can cut the sweet potato any way you wish to and fry it.

If you don't have a mandolin, you can use a peeler or even a knife to slice it. Then fry it at 150 degrees in sunflower oil for about two minutes, and that's it.
