Cream of Fiddlehead Soup

"I had posted this recipe long before I tried it out. So far, I am not impressed. Its a good base for a recipe but way too thin. I've decreased the amount of chicken stock from 3 to 1 can and will be tinkering with it more in the future, but with fiddlehead season being so short, it may take a while."
