Caramelized Fennel And White Bean Soup Recipe


Caramelized Fennel And White Bean Soup Recipe
I love fennel, I love soup… so when this soup was featured on FoodTV's "Party Starters" prepared by Edison Mays, I snagged the recipe from the website and adapted it to my liking.

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 fennel bulbs, sliced thinly, fennel fronds chopped and reserved
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced, to taste
  • 1 gallon vegetable stock or chicken stock
  • 6 cups cooked small white beans (from the can is fine)
  • sea salt, to taste
  • white pepper, to taste
  • extra virgin olive oil, for garnish

Directions
  1. Slice the fennel bulbs thinly; chop the fennel fronds and set them aside to use later.
  2. In a large heavy sauce pot over medium temperature, heat the olive oil; add the sliced fennel bulb, thyme, and butter.
  3. Saute, stirring occasionally, until fennel is golden brown and caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Add the white wine, garlic, stock, and small white beans and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
  5. (At this point, if you'd like a creamy soup you can take out half of the soup and puree it in a blender, then add it back into the pot.).
  6. Season soup to taste with sea salt and white pepper.
  7. Garnish with a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a bit of chopped fennel frond, and serve.
  8. Note: more beans can be added to the soup, if you like (a couple of cups worth), or you can use other kinds of beans or a combination.
