Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 bulbs fennel, chopped, fronds reserved
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cube vegetable bouillon
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent. Whisk in flour and stir until a paste forms, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk water and vegetable bouillon into the saucepan. Add fennel and bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until fennel is soft, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2
Puree soup with an immersion blender. Stir in cream. If soup is too thick, add more water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3
Chop fennel fronds. Divide soup between 4 bowls and sprinkle with fennel fronds.

Cook’s Note:

You can use a chicken stock cube instead of vegetable stock cube, but then the soup is no longer vegetarian.
