We woke up to snow this morning and I’m giddy.

The kids get to stay home from school, I added eggnog to my coffee, we are putting up the Christmas tree and I’m already concocting what I’ll be making for dinner tonight.

This soup would be perfect.

What I love about soups like this is that they fulfill the need for comfort food without being chock full of butter, cheese, cream, and pasta.

It’s warm, comforting, and nourishing.

Just the way I like it.  Enjoy!

      Jen – I haven’t made any yet. I bought a small batch of the real deal from whole foods… Traders Point Creamery is the brand. It’s grass fed, whole milk and insanely delicious. I really want to make my own soon, but haven’t yet.

    This sounds so good, especially on a cold day like today. I love fennel and have been eating it since I was a child. Pinned!

    Hi Dani – I made this soup today and just polished off two bowls of it. I love your style in the kitchen. I’m learning a lot from you so I am really grateful that you are sharing your knowledge. Thanks again (and again and again). Patricia

    Hi Dani, thank you for this amazing recipe!
    I made it last night, followed the exact recipe and it came out wonderful! So easy and delicious. I served it with some coarsely grated Parmesan cheese and a thick slice of whole wheat baguette aside. The whole family loved it!
    Taking the leftovers with me to work today for lunch.
    I will absolutely make this again.
    Cheers to a warm and cozy winter! 🙂

    Dani,
    Love this soup. Thank you. Made following changes: 2 cans of cannelli beans, 1 can black soy beans, 1 can low salt tomatoes. More hearty.
    I’ve enjoyed your recipes. They taste great and are very healthy. Keep ’em coming.

    Hi Dani.
    I made this soup today and I loved it!! I was wondering if I could change up the recipe sometime and use Leeks instead of Fennel? Would Leeks hold up in the recipe?
    Thank you so much for your recipes and all your videos; you explain everything so well and it’s fast and easy!

    Have a great day 🙂

      You can probably use leeks but they would be a lot creamier when cooked up – fennel tends to have more structure once cooked, leeks will break down more. Make sense? But in my book it’s all worth a try! I would love to hear how it goes if you make it.

    I made this today…just for myself as my family does not share my passion for soup and it was fabulous! I added diced tomatoes, a bit more spinach and a sprinkle of fresh grated pecorino cheese. Thank you for a great recipe!

    I made this tonight and it was delicious. I substituted kale for the spinach (what I had in the fridge). Used organic fire roasted tomatoes and added a dash or two of hot sauce. Served with crusty multi-grain baguette. It was fabulous. Will definitely add this recipe to my soup rotation (I love soups). Thank you for the great recipe.

    Just an FYI: I noticed in the video that you mentioned adding thyme, but it’s not in the recipe itself. 🙂

    Hi Dani
    Quick question – I am on my own and don’t like spending much time in the kitchen so I would like to be able to cook batches for freezing, is it possible to freeze this soup after cooking? Do you think it would defrost and reheat ok? (I was thinking perhapsit would be better to blend it before freezing?).

    Also just wanted to say….I stumbled across your site while looking for YouTube vids on how to cook quinoa properly and I have to compliment you on your clear teaching style, also loving the quick and easy to follow recipes as I have the attention span of a fish! So thank you 🙂

      I think it would freeze just fine, although I would not add any cheese before freezing. That you can just sprinkle on when you eat it;)

    Hi Dani,
    I love this recipe and would like to try it. My question for you is can I substitute the chicken broth to veggie instead (I’m vegan) and will the soup still thicken up? Thanks!

    Tried this recipe and it was excellent. Have seen the Cold Beet and Fennel Soup. There was a third one that I can’t find anymore that I tried and it also was excellent. Unfortunately I didn’t save it. Didn’t anticipate having a problem finding it again. I would appreciate it if you could send a link for the video. I will save it this time! Thank you.

    Dani, I made this for the first time on Friday. It was the most delicious soup I have ever made. My husband (who hates soups) gobbled down a huge bowl of it. Yum Yum Yum!

    Just made this soup with a few small additions and it is delish! I added two cans of beans to make it a little heartier, also added 2 or three Tbsps of Coconut sugar, also added 1 tsp of
    “Better than Bullion Chicken flavor”. Garnished with shedded Asiago cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Lovely flavor, seems like a good base for Minestrone soup or other variations.
    Will definitely make this soup frequently in the future. Thanks so much and I’m really enjoying making more and more of your recipes, so tasty! I’m telling my family and friends about your
    great web site.
