Wild Mushroom Chowder With Bacon And Leeks
  1. Place the bacon in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Set the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon crisps and the fat is rendered, 8 minutes. Add the butter, leeks, and celery and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes more, or until the leeks and celery begin to soften.

  2. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chanterelles, thyme, and bay leaf and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour until incorporated.

  3. Pour in the wine and simmer, scraping up any brown bits as you stir, until the liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, potatoes, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the cream until incorporated and heated through.

  4. Serve topped with pepper and thyme.
