Gluten free Fennel Apple Soup has been popping up everywhere –on various gluten free yahoo groups and in various magazines. Here’s my version.

ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion
2 (medium to large) fennel bulbs stems removed and diced
2 large apples (I used Honeycrisp), peeled, cored and diced
1 quart chicken stock
2-3 sprigs thyme

directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot
2. Saute onion over low or medium heat for 10-15 minutes until soft and almost browned
3. Add fennel and apples and cook for 5-10 minutes until they start to soften or brown
4. Add chicken stock and thyme
5. Puree soup in small batches (for safety purposes) in a Vitamix until smooth and creamy
6. Reheat soup and serve

serves 4
