Ingredients

  • 1 fennel bulb sliced thinly
  • 3 leeks white part only, sliced thinly
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • salt and pepper
  • 43.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with their juice (3 14.5 ounce cans)
  • 1 tablespoon herbes de provence
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Gently separate the slices of fennel and leeks into rings. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat all with the oil.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until fennel is browned around the edges and softened and some of the leeks are charred. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. In a deep skillet over medium high heat, add the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and the tomatoes with their juice. Bring to the boil.
  5. Add the herbes de Provence and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down.
  6. Add the beef broth, fennel and leeks. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  7. Using either a regular or hand-held blender, process the soup until it reaches the texture you like. Add water if needed to thin the soup.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  9. Garnish with croutons and fennel fronds.
