We added kale instead of spinach and some leftover gnocci. Used fresh roma tomato chopped.

I wanted an easy meal and easy is what I got. I added a dollop of pesto to the bowls to give some depth to this soup. It was very bland without the addition. I will not make this again.

Super easy and delicious. I sauteed the onions with about 4 small cloves of garlic in some olive oil. I also threw in some finely chopped celery (about 2 of the tender stalks) I chopped the fennel finely and added it to the pot. Added the tomatoes (without draining) and cooked a few more minutes. Added 2 Cans of white beans and then I added the broth (About 6 cups). I pressure cooked it for about 10 minutes and then once it was done I added some frozen spinach (about 2 cups) and 1 can of sliced carrots. This soup was sooo good. Not boring at all. The fennel blended in very well. It did not over power the soup. We are big soup eaters in our home and everyone loved this one, even my 8 year old. I will certainly be making this again. This soup can be topped with a little parmesan or a drizzle of olive oil. You can also add some small pasta such as ditalini to make it a bit heartier.

This soup was really good! We eat soup with our dinner every night! I doubled the recipe and froze the extra soup. I used frozen spinach and a bit more garic than it called for. I also drained the chopped canned tomatoes when I washed and draine dthe beans - as I do not like the taste of the liquid form the canned tomatoes. Other that that - the soup was FANTASTIC!!!

i had been wanting to try fennel and thought this soup would be a good place to start. unfortunately i didnt like the fennel and the flavors didnt seem to go together very well. if you really like fennel then you would probably like this soup.

This soup was delicious. It was really easy, healthy, and had a great taste. I did not need as much broth as it called for, and I added a bit of garlic with the onion.
