For a richer flavor, consider using chicken stock instead of vegetable stock. A swirl of cream or a dollop of crème fraîche adds a luxurious touch. Garnish with fresh fennel fronds for an extra burst of anise flavor. This soup is delicious served with crusty bread for dipping.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Fennel: Slice the quartered fennel bulbs into roughly 1/4-inch thick pieces. (5 minutes)
02
StepSauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter together with the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced fennel and spring onions. Stir to coat, then pour in 1 cup of the vegetable stock. Cover the pot and gently simmer for 15 minutes, or until the fennel is softened and translucent. (20 minutes)
03
StepSimmer with Potato: Pour the remaining 3 cups of vegetable stock into the pot. Add the cubed potato. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered until the potato is very soft and cooked through, approximately 25 minutes. (25 minutes)
04
StepTexturize the Soup: Using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, gently mash some of the vegetables to thicken the soup. You want to create a chunky texture, not a completely smooth purée. If the soup is too thick for your liking, stir in water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
05
StepSeason and Rest: Season generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Allow the soup to rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
