But if fennel doesn't float your boat, it just doesn't. This soup is really worth having, though. ;-) Thanks for the comment.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-2252329228533263292013-01-17T11:24:09.264-06:002013-01-17T11:24:09.264-06:00The first time I had fennel was about a year and a...The first time I had fennel was about a year and a half ago :) It's weird - I'm ok with it and will use it in dishes and eat it, but I also don't try to seek out recipes using it like, omg I must make something with fennel lol. I think I'd be all aboard on this soup though - so hearty and I like that you used beans with that bit of thyme to match it.Food Jauntshttp://foodjaunts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-56838624581735478072013-01-14T20:51:48.783-06:002013-01-14T20:51:48.783-06:00Hi Christine, it's really a tasty soup!

And this would be great as a vegetarian version (obviously you'd lose the shrimp - and although it has good flavor and eye appeal, the flavor of the soup is more than good enough without the shrimp).
