Steps:
- Heat a large sauce pot over medium high heat. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Once oil is hot, add fennel bulb, fresh thyme, and butter.

Reduce heat and allow soup to come to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve by ladling 5 to 6 ounces of soup into a bowl. Garnish with a few fresh thyme leaves and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. See Cook's Note.
CARAMELIZED FENNEL AND WHITE BEAN SOUP
I love fennel, I love soup... so when this soup was recently featured on FoodTV's "Party Starters" prepared by Edison Mays, I snagged the recipe from the website and adapted it to my liking.

Steps:
- Slice the fennel bulbs thinly; chop the fennel fronds and set them aside to use later.
- In a large heavy sauce pot over medium temperature, heat the olive oil; add the sliced fennel bulb, thyme, and butter.
- Saute, stirring occasionally, until fennel is golden brown and caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the white wine, garlic, stock, and small white beans and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- (At this point, if you'd like a creamy soup you can take out half of the soup and puree it in a blender, then add it back into the pot.).
- Season soup to taste with sea salt and white pepper.
- Garnish with a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a bit of chopped fennel frond, and serve.
- Note: more beans can be added to the soup, if you like (a couple of cups worth), or you can use other kinds of beans or a combination. And yes, the amounts are correct in the recipe - it's a gallon of stock. This makes a lotta soup!

Tips:
- To caramelize the fennel, cook it over medium-low heat until it's golden brown and tender, about 15 minutes. Don't rush the process, or the fennel will burn.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth for the best flavor. You can also use chicken broth if you prefer.
- Add a splash of white wine to the soup for a richer flavor. If you don't have white wine, you can use dry vermouth or even water.
- Serve the soup with a crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
Conclusion:
This caramelized fennel and white bean soup is a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also relatively easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover fennel. So next time you're looking for a new soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
