Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 bulbs fennel - trimmed, quartered, and cored
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 spring onions, sliced
4 cups vegetable stock, divided
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
¼ cup water, or as needed
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Slice the fennel into medium-size pieces.
  • Heat butter and olive oil together in a pot over medium-low heat. Add sliced fennel, spring onions, and 1 cup of the stock. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until fennel is soft and translucent.
  • Pour remaining stock into the pot; add potato. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently until the potato is very soft and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Gently mash vegetables with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon until soup is thick and chunky. If soup is too thick, stir in water by tablespoons to your desired consistency. Season with black pepper. Let rest 5 minutes to allow flavors to develop before serving.
