Lucullian delights
Hi Ilva,
Guess what i'm eating right now? Fennel stewed in tomato sauce with some garlic and fennel seeds. Serious no kidding. Nice soup nifty idea to add some carrot. And the pictures........ Thank you, have a nice day.
Wooo, that looks like seriously good soup. Always you take just a couple of ingredients and make magic.
Enjoy your sunshine.
Enjoy your day - the soup looks yummy!
That looks so good! I've never had fennel, but that sounds like it would go together really good. Enjoy the sunshine.
Mmmh, that looks good! A great soup for the shift of seasons, I think.
mm, Ilva, lovely soouop. I may make that for Easter, which I spend by myself (luxury) and by cleaning a garden of contruction debris. The din of three children seems like music, no?
Ilva,
Thanks for participating! This is a wonderful soup that will go great with lamb chops I just brought home. Yum!
I love the ingredients!

I have all those ingredients in my kitchen, so I'm going to make that soup right now! I know it's going to be just the kind of dish I like.
OK, it's a little more than one hour later and I have made it, eaten it and loved it! Even did my dishes already.
After I blended it I added a couple of tablespoons of cooked basmati rice simply because I had it on hand and because I wanted to make it more filling - a complete and delicious meal. Thank you, Ilva. You solved my dinner dilemma 
Thomas-we're obvioulsy on the same wave length food wise! And thanks!
Tanna-Thanks, I am! Very much!
Jenny-thanks! You too!
Sally-it's time you get some fennel and start experimenting!
Honeybee-and I think you are right! And thanks!
Aagje-So enjoy the luxury! About the din of the children I'm not so sure about that, sometimes it's just disturbing NOISE!!
Chris-Thank You for hosting the event!
Paz-So you might love the soup too!
Anna maria-I'm really happy that you both made it liked it. And I'm flattered too!
Looks wonderful Ilva and fun to make!

and now i know what meal i will complete my day with. i have a fennel bulb begging to be used right now. this seems to be the perfect thing to make even with little ones about -of which i have two of my own! i think i can handle it.
Carol-Thanks! xxx
chanelle-I'm happy you like it! And the bowl is made by one of my best friends who is a potter! I love it!
Fantastic as usual! My family smack their lips whenever I say I am cooking one of your recipes.
Paul-must be one of the nicest compliments I ever got-Thanks!
Good idea! I just bother how to cook the fresh organic fennel. Is it possible to keep the leaves dried and make something likes herbs? How?
Tks,
Siufa- I don't think so, they don't have enough taste when they are dried but wild fennel has!
Hello! I came across this recipe while searching for ways to cook fennel, and I love it! I've tried different vegetable combinations and had wonderful results every time. Thanks for sharing. Your blog is a real treat.
You have really inspired me to cook healthy and look at food differently. I have made this soup and making it again today. I love love love the white bean and fennel soup also. My favorite food bloggers are you and La Tartine Gouramde and both sites really have changed my way of looking at food and cooking. I think you are both sisters in your way of life.
Thank you so much.
