velouté version grabbed me from first slurp. Pair it with the complimentary bread, olive oil and olives. 759 W. Cypress St., Kennett Square, (610) 644- 2424, thenakedolivepa.com.
STOP 5: The classically trained Anthony Young shows off his skills at Hank’s Place and with the creamiest mushroom soup on the trail, with ample chunks of fresh shitake, crimini and portabello mushrooms. 201 Birch St., Kennett Square, (610) 448-9988, hanksplacechaddsford.com.
STOP 6: Longwood Gardens offers a notable cream-based mushroom soup at its 1906 Restaurant. You can find the same version in the Café, but minus shallots and chives. The recipe is free for the asking. 1001 Longwood Road, Kennett Square, (610) 388- 1000, longwoodgardens.org.
STOP 7: The Gables at Chadds Ford’s hearty version features locally sourced shitake, maitake, crimini, white and portabello mushrooms and is topped with fragrant truffle oil. 423 Baltimore Pike, Chadds Ford, (610) 388-7700, thegablesatchaddsford.com.
STOP 8: Tucked away in a former bank building, Twelves Grill & Cafe concocts one of my favorite soups
in the area, its chunks of shitake and crimini swimming in a not-too-thick, not-too-creamy broth. They top it off with lump crab meat and truffle oil— an extravagant touch, to say the least. 10 Exchange Place, West Grove, (610) 869-4020, twelvesgrill.com.
And be sure to cap off any day
on the trail with a stop at The Woodlands at Phillips Mushroom Farms. The extensive inventory at this shop includes maitake coffee, mushroom soup mixes, exotic fresh and dried mushrooms from the farm, and much more. And don’t miss
the mushroom exhibit out back. 1020 Kaolin Road, (610) 444-2192, thewoodlandsatphillips.com. TH
