This pale soup has an intriguing sweetness from the ricotta behind the lightly anise flavor of the fennel. It can be served hot as well as cold.

Ingredients

Method

In a medium stockpot, bring the stock to a boil. Add the fennel, cover, and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, or until the fennel is soft. Pour into a sieve set over a bowl. Reserve the liquid and fennel separately.

In a food processor, purée the fennel, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the ricotta and process until smooth
