The inspiration for this soup came to me one day when I was walking through the woods and came across a patch of chanterelle mushrooms. I had never seen chanterelle mushrooms before, and I was immediately intrigued by their beautiful golden color and delicate flavor. I picked a few of the mushrooms and took them home, where I cooked them up with some fiddleheads and vegetable broth. The resulting soup was so delicious that I knew I had to share it with the world.
