ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND FENNEL SOUP



Italian Sausage and Fennel Soup image

Many years ago I watched chef and TV personality Mario Batali make an Italian soup that had fennel, garlic and bread as the base. I have dietary restrictions that don't allow me to eat bread, so I made my own version by omitting the bread and adding sausage for protein. It's hearty and irresistible on a cold night. It can feed a crowd or provide plenty of leftovers. If you find yourself missing the bread, serve it on the side to perfectly round out your meal. -Suzanne Clark, Fort Dodge, IA

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for good-quality beans, sausage, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will be too thick and the flavors will be muted. Add the ingredients in batches, and don't be afraid to thin the soup with water or broth if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for bean, fennel, and sausage soup include grated Parmesan cheese, crusty bread, and a dollop of sour cream.
