This roasted fennel and potato soup is full of simple flavors and is so easy to make. Puree your soup until velvety smooth, or leave it a little chunky if you prefer. Make it your own and enjoy!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. (3 – 4) yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 2 large or 3 small fennel bulbs, sliced into 1 inch slices (reserve some fronds for garnish)
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups unsweetened plain non-dairy milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Roast: Using a large rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silpat, place potatoes, fennel & onion.. Add a light drizzle of and toss vegetables until evenly coated, spread evenly on the sheet. Add a sprinkle of salt & pepper over top. Place in oven and cook for 30 – 40 minutes, tossing half way. Potatoes should be fork tender. Remove any fennel that seems to burn too fast. Reserve a few fennel pieces for garnish if you like.

Puree: In a large pot, add water/broth and milk. Add vegetables and using an immersion blender, puree until desired consistency, add more liquids as needed. You may like your soup a little chunky or smooth. You may also use a blender/food processor to puree the soup (this method may take two batches to complete). Taste for flavor adding more salt & pepper as needed.

Warm: Bring the pot to the stove and heat soup over medium low until warmed through.

Serve: Fill individual bowls and top with reserved fennel and fresh cracked pepper. Pairs well with crusty bread of choice.

Serves 4 – 6

Notes

A quick guide to cutting fennel: How To Chop Fennel

The smaller you chop the vegetables the quicker they will cook and vice versa.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: For roasting the veggies I switch between my Silpat or these parchment liners for lining this rimmed baking sheet (affiliate links). And for pureeing the soup I use this immersion blender.
