- Add the stock, and bring it up to a boil.
- Turn down the heat again, and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are all very soft.

- Cook the bacon in a wide skillet until crisp. Gently reheat the soup, without letting it boil. Ladle the soup into bowls, and crumble bacon and sprinkle over chives, to serve.
- You can also cook the bacon first and then substitute bacon fat for the olive oil when cooking the vegetables
- You can skip the cream if you're watching the calories, or stir in a couple tablespoons of crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
- This soup can be frozen. If freezing, don't add any cream to it. Defrost, reheat, and then add cream, after which you can readjust the seasoning to your taste.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of your soup, use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh fennel and potatoes. If you can, try to find organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. For example, if you like a spicier soup, you can add more red pepper flakes. Or, if you want a thicker soup, you can add more potatoes or blend some of the soup until smooth.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Potato fennel soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and fennel. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
