This Tasty Fennel Zucchini Soup is a creamy, comforting blend of sautéed fennel, zucchini, and onion simmered in chicken broth, gently seasoned with mild curry powder, and finished with a splash of white wine vinegar. Simple to prepare and perfect for a light lunch or starter, this easy soup combines aromatic vegetables and subtle spices into a smooth, flavorful dish garnished with fresh fennel tops.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 fennel bulb, diced (green tops reserved for garnish)
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped

Seasonings and Others

  • 1 tsp mild curry seasoning
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • Ground black pepper, to taste (freshly ground preferred)
  • Salt, to taste

Liquids and Fats

  • 2 tbsp butter (unsalted, Kerrygold preferred)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (Swanson recommended)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add the diced fennel bulb and sliced zucchini, continuing to cook and stir occasionally for another 3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  2. Simmer the Soup: Pour the chicken broth into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until the fennel becomes tender.
  3. Puree and Season the Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until smooth. Season with mild curry powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a splash of white wine vinegar to brighten the flavors.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Finely chop the reserved fennel green tops and sprinkle them over the soup as a fresh garnish. Serve the soup hot and enjoy its harmonious blend of flavors.

Notes

  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot for ease.
  • Adjust the curry seasoning based on your spice preference.
  • For a vegan or vegetarian version, substitute butter with olive oil and chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Freshly ground black pepper enhances the flavor more than pre-ground pepper.
  • Serve with crusty bread for a more filling meal.
