A velvety, delicate soup with the subtle flavor of fresh chervil. Can be served as an appetizer or as a first course. It also pairs well with rich meats such as roast duckling or pork loin.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I am not a good cook and rarely dare to make soups but I had harvested my chervil and your recipe was perfect for it. I had one little problem in that I had to ask a friend to provide a weight measure for a 'bunch' as I couldn't even guess how much I should use. Her estimate was 30grams per bunch which worked fine. I also had no shallots so used garlic chives, also from my garden. It turned out to be delicious and I thank you very much for sharing this. It was even delicious cold the following day. I will be certain to use this again through the summer as the crop grows up again.
