Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Add the sliced fennel, onion, and celery to the pan. Sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

03

Step
1 mins

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

04

Step
3 mins

Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. (3 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

06

Step
2 mins

Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the fresh basil and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending. Working in batches, carefully transfer the soup to a blender. Secure the lid tightly and blend until smooth and creamy.

08

Step

Alternatively, use an immersion blender to purée the soup directly in the pot.

09

Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with reserved fennel fronds. If desired, swirl in a touch of cream or add a dollop of mascarpone cheese for extra richness.

For a deeper flavor, roast the fennel, onion, and celery in the oven before adding them to the soup.
If you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the vegetables.
To make this soup vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the cream or mascarpone cheese.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

    I used vegetable broth to make it vegetarian, and it was still fantastic!

    Very easy to make and perfect for a cold day!

    I didn't have fresh basil or parsley on hand, so I used dried. It still turned out great, but I'll definitely use fresh next time.

    This soup freezes well, which is so great for meal prepping
