Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large leeks
1 large bulb fennel, diced (stems and fronds reserved)
1 large bulb fennel, diced (stems and fronds reserved)
3 large carrots, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or dill
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
4 slices crusty Italian bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Make the broth: Cut off the dark green tops of the leeks and put in a large pot along with the fennel stems and fronds; add 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, halve the remaining leeks lengthwise, then thinly slice and rinse. Put the carrots and half each of the sliced leeks and diced fennel on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, coat with cooking spray and toss. Roast until golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining leeks and fennel and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the potatoes and 2 cups of the prepared broth. Cover and cook until tender, 15 minutes. Add 4 more cups broth and the milk; bring to a boil. Working in batches, transfer to a blender and puree; season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls; top with the roasted vegetables and chopped herbs. Spread the ricotta on the toasted bread and season with pepper; serve with the soup.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this soup. The fennel flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
