Ingredients
24 ounces cherry tomatoes 1 large shallot 4 medium cloves garlic 1 can cannellini beans 3-4 cups vegetable stock 1-2 pieces of Parmesan rind 2 teaspoons dried seasoning blend of choice: suggest everyday blend, italian herbs, herbes de provence ½-1 cup heavy whipping cream or coconut milk Kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste Fresh basil for serving, thinly sliced Fresh shaved Parmesan for serving Preparation
Fennel tastes like a cross between onion and celery with a dash of licorice, and is perfect in salads, dips, soups, and more. Though it may look like an onion, it’s actually part of the carrot family, and when cooked, it becomes tender and even a little sweet. It is also a great source of vitamin C, and it’s loaded with antioxidants to boot.
