Tomato Soup with Celery and Fennel 001

Although winter is almost a distant memory, I still love making soup all year round.  It’s perfect to freeze and is a quick, easy, nutritious option for lunch or when you need dinner in a hurry.  This soup is so delicious and really didn’t take all that long to make.  Garnish with some basil and accompany with some toast with melted cheese or parmesan and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time at all.

 

If fennel is a vegetable that you haven’t tried before, give it a go in this recipe as the flavour is quite subtle.  Enjoy!
