3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, sliced thinly, fennel fronds chopped and reserved
3 sprigs fresh thyme, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, minced, to taste
1 gallon vegetable stock or 1 gallon chicken stock
6 cups cooked small white beans (from the can is fine)
sea salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil, for garnish

1
Slice the fennel bulbs thinly; chop the fennel fronds and set them aside to use later.
2
In a large heavy sauce pot over medium temperature, heat the olive oil; add the sliced fennel bulb, thyme, and butter.
3
Saute, stirring occasionally, until fennel is golden brown and caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Add the white wine, garlic, stock, and small white beans and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
5
(At this point, if you'd like a creamy soup you can take out half of the soup and puree it in a blender, then add it back into the pot.).
6
Season soup to taste with sea salt and white pepper.
7
Garnish with a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a bit of chopped fennel frond, and serve.
8
Note: more beans can be added to the soup, if you like (a couple of cups worth), or you can use other kinds of beans or a combination. And yes, the amounts are correct in the recipe - it's a gallon of stock. This makes a lotta soup!
