m.top5@yahoo.comThis soup is my new go-to for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's so flavorful and comforting, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add a bit of extra vegetables, like celery or zucchini, to make it even more hearty.

x.nishad44@hotmail.co.ukSoup was bland and lacked flavor. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it edible. Would not recommend.

a.a@hotmail.comThis soup was good, but not great. The fennel flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less fennel. Otherwise, the soup was well-made and flavorful.

a-yadav85@yahoo.comThis soup was easy to make and so delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a few drops of lemon juice at the end, which really brightened up the flavors. Definitely a keeper!

micala.robinson59@gmail.comI'm not usually a fan of fennel, but this soup changed my mind. The sweetness of the carrots really balanced out the anise flavor of the fennel. I also loved the addition of the Parmesan cheese. It added a nice richness to the soup.

ec6@gmail.comThis soup was absolutely delicious! The fennel and carrots were a perfect combination, and the broth was so flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
