  • Yield: 8 cups, 8 first-course servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped fennel, bulb only
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 6 whole cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped Italian plum tomatoes (about 6 tomatoes)
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons Pernod
  • 2 quarts Basic Chicken Stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup coarsely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 8 sprigs fresh fennel leaves
