White Bean Fennel Soup
Donna Quinn
"Even when the garden is snow-covered, its bounty crops up in the steaming bowls Donna Quinn passes around her Salem, Wisconsin table. 'This filling soup is a favorite with our family and is often requested for company dinners,' she reports. A hint of fennel accents the flavor or this quick-to-fix bean soup...and spinach and tomatoes add color."

Okay basic recipe, but a full can of diced tomatoes completely overwhelmed the other subtle flavors.

I thought this was a good recipe which just needed a little tweaking. I added one minced clove of garlic with the onion and fennel, and used just 3 cups of homemade chicken broth instead of 5. ...

This soup was delicious. It was really easy, healthy, and had a great taste. I did not need as much broth as it called for, and I added a bit of garlic with the onion.

Delicious, easy to make soup! I bought fennel on a whim and needed to use it... this was one of few recipes I found where I had nearly all of the ingredients (I didn't have spinach). Probably ...

Good soup! Best when hot because the flavors come out then! I omitted the oil, and put the onion and fennel right in with the other ingredients. I used kale instead of spinach.
