This Tasty Fennel Zucchini Soup is a smooth, creamy blend of sautéed fennel, zucchini, and onions, simmered in chicken broth and seasoned with mild curry and a splash of white wine vinegar. Perfectly garnished with fresh fennel tops, this comforting soup offers a delightful balance of flavors and is simple to prepare in under 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Vegetables

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

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 1 tsp mild curry seasoning
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • Ground black pepper, to taste (freshly ground preferred)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth (e.g., Swanson)

Fats

  • 2 tbsp butter (preferably unsalted, e.g., Kerrygold)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the onion softens. Next, add the diced fennel bulb and sliced zucchini to the pot, cooking for an additional 3 minutes and stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.
  2. Simmer the Soup: Pour the chicken broth into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fennel becomes soft and tender.
  3. Puree and Season the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until it reaches a smooth consistency. Season with mild curry powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste. Add a splash of white wine vinegar to brighten the flavors.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Finely chop the reserved fennel tops and sprinkle them over the soup just before serving. Serve the soup hot to enjoy the harmonious blend of fresh and comforting flavors.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • The white wine vinegar adds a subtle acidity that balances the flavors; you can adjust the amount to your preference.
  • Use an immersion blender for easy pureeing directly in the pot or transfer to a standard blender in batches.
  • Freshly ground black pepper enhances the soup’s flavor more than pre-ground pepper.
