Fennel and Black Bean Soup image

I started throwing ingredients together on a cold wintry day - this fabulous thick and warming soup was the result. The fennel adds brightness and provides a nice contrast to the hearty beans and the heat of the crushed pepper.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili powder.
