Cream of Fennel Soup

Posted in Events|Soups and Stews|Vegetables

I stumbled upon TS & JS’s food blog, [eatingclub] vancouver and drooled over their Cream of Fennel Soup – YUM!  After, last nights over indulgence, we decided it was a good night for soup – soothing soup!

Neither of us were big fans of Fennel;  me, because the scent reminded me of black licorcise, which I hate and Lenny, well, he had really never eaten it.  Then a couple years ago, I made this wonderful salad which called for  fresh fennel.  We both fell in love with it.  Now, I use it in soups, salads, tarts and even to munch on.  This recipe is easy and ever so tasty!

I have been using fennel for years, but never as a main ingredient for soup. I am going to have to give this a try.
I do know that orange is a classic pairing for fennel; perhaps adding some orange zest as a garnish when serving might be called for? I will try it when I make this.

[...] as a snack.  Toss it into a salad.  Roast it and add it to your mashed potatoes,  make a lovely soup, bake it into a Galette,  turn it into a creamy risotto inspired dish;  the possibilities are [...]
