  2. Puree soup with an immersion blender. Stir in cream. If soup is too thick, add more water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Chop fennel fronds. Divide soup between 4 bowls and sprinkle with fennel fronds.

If you like fennel, try this fine fennel soup. Fennel is simply simmered in stock and pureed with cream.
