ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND FENNEL SOUP



Italian Sausage and Fennel Soup image

Many years ago I watched chef and TV personality Mario Batali make an Italian soup that had fennel, garlic and bread as the base. I have dietary restrictions that don't allow me to eat bread, so I made my own version by omitting the bread and adding sausage for protein. It's hearty and irresistible on a cold night. It can feed a crowd or provide plenty of leftovers. If you find yourself missing the bread, serve it on the side to perfectly round out your meal. -Suzanne Clark, Fort Dodge, IA

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND FENNEL SOUP



Chicken, Sausage, and Fennel Soup image

My husband loved a chicken and fennel soup he had at a nice Italian restaurant, so I developed this recipe over a couple years of trial and error. Now it's nothing like the original, but it's definitely one of our favorites. Friends and family rave about it. This is a great dish for company. I like to have this about halfway done when my guests arrive. We always end up in the kitchen anyway, and it's so easy, you can enjoy a glass of wine while you work. Serve in a bowl with a crusty roll and a dry white wine.
