This soup was a disappointment. The fennel flavor was too strong and the soup was too thin. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

This bisque is delicious! The garlic and fennel flavors are perfectly balanced and the soup is so creamy and flavorful. I served it with a crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.

This soup was a disaster! The fennel was overpowering and the soup was way too thin. I ended up throwing it out.

This bisque was good, but not great. The fennel flavor was a bit too strong for my taste and the soup was a little too thin. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less fennel and added some more cream.

I've made this bisque several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and always comes out creamy and flavorful. I love that it's a great way to use up fennel, which I often have leftover from other recipes.

This garlic fennel bisque was a delightful surprise! The creamy texture and subtle anise flavor of the fennel were perfectly balanced by the sharpness of the garlic. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. My family loved it!
