Dusty's new favourite Soup

[dusty]

LOL Jo! I am sure it will be a winner - hows that for confidence

Actually I have also recently converted to eating it raw in salads. I just never had really had anything to do with it because I was put off by aniseed flavours and I have discovered I really like it.

Grilled on a George Foreman type grill with a bit of olive oil, it goes translucent and kind of caramelised - so yummy too.

I have never tried fennel in my life! I love trying new things though so I might just give it a go, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Dusty

There has been nice looking fennel at the markets - I will have to get some bright and early tomorrow morning.

See you there hunny!

Who could believe that one tiny vegetable could raise so much curiousity! I have got to try the soup now!

Love Mich

Oh Dusty - if you weren't already married I'd propose to you just on the basis of that recipe... I loooooove fennel, so I'll have to try this. Have you had the sweet candied fennel (it's often served as a breath freshener following Indian meals)?

[dusty]

Good on you Mich!

LOL Suse I knew you would be into such a cool vegie. I still want that dinner at your place one day. The jury is out for me on the candied variety. Some indian restaurants have good fresh stuff mixed in and at others it is like eating dusty cardboard.

I got so excited when I found two enormous bulbs yesterday for $4 at the markets. DH thinks my new found love is very amusing .

Off to email the recipe to my mum who is also now intrigued...
