Add fennel, carrots, celery, leeks, thyme, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but do not brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Pour broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until all of the vegetables are cooked, about 10 minutes. Remove the thyme stems and bay leaf. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Cook's Notes: Fresh thyme is preferred, but you can use 1 teaspoon dried thyme instead. Substitute 1 small Yukon Gold potato, peeled and halved, for the celery if preferred. Always keep in mind what type of chicken broth you will be using before seasoning. Low-sodium versus regular can affect how salty your soup will turn out.
