Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, cored & chopped (about 12 oz.)
2 tablespoons feathery fennel leaves, chopped (save for garnish)
4 medium shallots, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped (about 2 oz.)
28 ounces canned tomatoes, undrained
1/2-1 cup vegetable broth
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in medium stockpot over medium-low.
  • Add fennel, shallots and carrot, cook until very soft but not brown, stirring occasionally.
  • This will take about 15 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup broth, bring to boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes (uncovered), stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer to blender or food processor in batches (I used an immersion blender right in the pan), and process until smooth.
  • Adjust the seasonings, and add more veggie broth if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Serve hot, garnished with the chopped fennel leaves.
  • This soup reheats well.
