When should the chervil be added to the soup?

Right at the end — chop it finely and stir it into the soup just before serving. That way it keeps its delicate, aromatic flavor.

What does chervil taste like?

Chervil has a delicate, aromatic flavor, and according to Schønberg Erken (Stor kokebok 1914, p. 381) is used especially as an herb in soup.

Does the chervil have to be cooked?

No. It should not be cooked along — long heating destroys the aroma. So it is only finely chopped and stirred into the finished soup, a job that takes a few minutes.
