Cream of Fennel and Potato Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon  olive oil
  • 3 cups  chopped fennel (1 1/2 pounds)
  • 3/4 cup  chopped yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 cups  reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 ounces  yellow-flesh potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup  fat-free milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon  dried thyme, crushed
  • 8 ounces  uncooked bulk turkey Italian sausage
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons  lemon juice
  • Slivered green onions (optional)
Directions

1. In a large saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add fennel, yellow onion, and garlic; cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until fennel and onion are tender, stirring occasionally. Add broth, potatoes, milk, and thyme. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Cool slightly.

3. Transfer potato mixture, half at a time, to a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until smooth. Return pureed mixture to saucepan. Stir in sausage and lemon juice; heat through.

4. Ladle soup into serving bowls. If desired, sprinkle with green onions.
