  • 2 1/2 cups broth of choice (bone or vegetable broth)

  • Add olive oil. Cook garlic until just brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add cut fennel bulb (with some fennel leaves) to the pot, cook for 3-5 minutes until brown.
  • Add broth and bring heat up to high to create a roaring boil for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Once soup has developed more flavor and has slightly reduced, reduce heat to a low simmer and add chopped granny smith apples.
