Spicy Fennel & Green Bean Soup
This recipe came about because I wound up with a great deal of extra ingredients left around when my recipe plan for the week was thwarted after we accidentally at all of the Beer-Can BBQ Chicken, which I had planned for leftovers.
In any case, I was able to make a broth, and that led us here.
This soup is spicy from the ginger and the cardamom, but light as it’s tomato based.
Perfect for when autumn starts.
