Caramelized Fennel and White Bean Soup image

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.

Categories     Beans

Time 55m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, sliced thinly, fennel fronds chopped and reserved
3 sprigs fresh thyme, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, minced, to taste
1 gallon vegetable stock or 1 gallon chicken stock
6 cups cooked small white beans (from the can is fine)
sea salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil, for garnish

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!

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve. It's also a great soup to freeze.

This soup is so versatile. You can add different vegetables or proteins to it to change up the flavor. I've added roasted chicken, sausage, and kale to this soup before and it's always delicious.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. The soup was so flavorful and comforting.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The caramelized fennel added a wonderful depth of flavor, and the white beans gave it a creamy texture. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
