INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bulb Fennel Bulk
  • 5 7/16 cup Chicken Broth, Bouillon or Consomme
  • 1 2/3 serving Frozen Sweet Peas
  • 0 2/3 tbsp chopped Shallots
  • 0 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp Peppermint (Mint)

DIRECTIONS

  4. Soup should be smooth and thick, but still have some texture.
  5. Place soup back into saucepot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Finish with cream, mint and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve hot or chill in an airtight container until cold.

Cooking Tip

Did you know that you can easily portion out and freeze soup to save for a busy night down the road? When ready to reheat, either microwave or heat up in a pot over the stove with a splash of water.
