    Creamy Fennel Soup is a Plant-Based Paleo Recipe with Fresh Herbs

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on September 20, 2021 Dairy-Free Recipes, Soup

    Fennel is a member of the carrot family, but it tastes nothing like those sweet roots. In fact, fennel is found in large green bulbs that have prominent notes of licorice and anise. That flavor lends itself well to this creamy fennel soup, and complements the herbs, onions, and garlic nicely.

    This Creamy Fennel Soup is Simply Delicious, Hot or Cold

    You might have missed this chunky vegetable, but it’s sold in many mainstream grocers. I’ve even bought it at Trader Joe’s! But it can be more elusive off-season. Fennel is in season from fall through early spring.

    This recipe was originally shared with us by Pacific Foods (many years ago!). They serve it chilled, but it’s also a delicious warm soup option. And if you want a richer finish, you can substitute 1 can lite coconut milk or full-fat coconut milk for milk beverage. It will influence the flavor a touch.

      Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I just made it and LOVE it! I did not add any salt or pepper and made it exactly as you wrote it. Fennel is one of my favorites (so is lemon) and I am so happy to have this recipe. I plan to make a few batches and freeze some for winter.
