  Re: (...)
Hi,

I picked probably 8 lbs of chantrelles yesterday. Made a russian dish with some of them yesterday. Do you have any other suggestions?

Well, this one from Lorraine a while back sounds so intriguing to me... I was just going to play with it.

SCALLOPS, CHANTRELLES & EGG ON TOAST

I had come specifically to sample a special they
had been running since earlier in the week; toast topped with sauteed
chantrelles, seared scallops and a poached egg.

Now I can't remember what restaurant it was! A friend of mine used to saute chantrelles in butter, and add them to softly scrambled eggs. Geez, they were good!
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Just used my recently discovered MC9 web tool bar to copy your recipe. I love mushroom soup and this sounds wonderful. I'm going to make it today because I purchased assorted mushrooms to make the mushroom-sherry sauce for the meatloaf, then decided not to make it. So I need to cook them up before they spoil. This will be a treat!
