Early spring in New Brunswick is fiddlehead season. They grow wild in swampy areas and are only available for a short time. This recipe is one of the best soups I have ever made and always gets rave reviews.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
½ large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken stock, divided
2 cups chopped fiddlehead ferns
1 carrot, diced
1 potato, diced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat until foamy, about 1 minute. Stir in onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  • Pour 4 cups chicken stock into the onion mixture, and bring to a full boil; stir in fiddleheads, carrot, and potato. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Blend soup until smooth with a hand blender. Stir in cream; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Taste soup, and stir in Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. If you prefer a thinner soup, add additional chicken stock up to 2 cups. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with Cheddar cheese.

Overall, this soup was good. The fiddleheads were a nice addition and gave the soup a unique flavor. However, I found the soup to be a bit too thin. I would have preferred it to be thicker and creamier.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still didn't have much flavor. I think it would be better with some fresh herbs or a different type of broth.
