Delish!

This was also my first time cooking with fennel bulb, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I would certainly make this dish again.

This recipe was good, with some tweaking. I added a little sugar and a dash of allspice to the soup while I was blending. Definitely need to double the recipe next time- it goes fast!

I love this recipe!!

This is a light yet satisfying recipe that helps me get some veggie content into my daily diet. I've cooked with fennel seeds before but never the actual plant. It is so delicious!

The soup was very good. I had never cooked with fennel before, so the strong licorice smell scared me as I do not like black licorice. The final product did not have a licorice flavor. This soup would go great with garlic bread.
