    tomato fennel soup

    I don't often cook with fresh fennel so I was really excited to make this Tomato Fennel Soup for my wife. Being a food blogger means you spend a considerable amount of time watching cooking shows. That also means she spends a lot of time watching cooking shows.

    I find many of the shows inspiring and sometimes I learn a technique or two from the pros. While watching a couple of episodes of Amy Schumer learns to cook, I quickly realized that her husband Chris Fischer loves to use fennel in almost every one of his recipes.

    🔪 How to cut Fennel

    If you've never used fennel before it might a little intimadating the first time you use it. While the stalks and fronds are edible, they won't be used in this recipe.

    With a knife, cut off the stalks. Cut the bulb in half then into quarters. Remove any outer parts that are wilted or bruised. Proceed to chop like you would an onion.

    As with most soup recipes, this one is pretty straightforward. All the ingredients are easily accessible except maybe the fennel depending on the time of year or where you live.
