I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this soup. The fennel flavor was subtle and it complemented the tomatoes perfectly.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup and it turned out great.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out even better than I expected. I added a bit of garlic and chili powder, and I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

This soup was okay, but I wouldn't make it again. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected.

I was really excited to try this soup, but I was disappointed. The fennel was too overpowering and the soup was too thin.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The fennel and tomatoes were a perfect combination, and the Parmesan cheese added a nice touch of richness. I will definitely be making this again.
