Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped fennel, bulb only
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 pounds peeled, seeded and chopped Italian plum tomatoes (about 8 tomatoes)
  • 1/2 cup Pernod
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup coarsely grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the fennel and onions, and sauté for 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes and Pernod and cook for 5 minutes, or until half of the liquid has evaporated.
