Yield Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium fennel bulb (sometimes called anise), stalks trimmed flush with bulb, and bulb sliced thin crosswise
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds carrots, sliced thin (about 4 cups)
1 garlic clove, sliced thin
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup sour cream
Garnish: 1 tablespoon fresh chervil leaves or fennel fronds

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook fennel bulb in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened and beginning to turn golden. Add carrots and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and salt and simmer, covered, 20 minutes, or until carrots are very tender.
  • In a blender purée mixture in batches with orange juice, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth, transferring to another heavy saucepan. Heat soup, stirring, just until heated through (do not let boil).

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use fresh or frozen vegetables, depending on what I have on hand.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less orange juice.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. The orange and carrot flavors really balanced out the fennel flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs to give it a bit more depth.

This soup was a delightful surprise! The combination of carrot, fennel, and orange was unique and flavorful. I especially appreciated the hint of orange zest in the background. It added a layer of complexity that made the soup even more enjoyable. I'
