How to Make Fennel & Apple Broth Soup
  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add sliced fennel, onion, and garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until onions are translucent and fennel edges turn lightly golden.
  2. Stir in chopped apples, cooking for 2 minutes until pieces soften slightly and release juices.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth, then add bay leaves and fresh thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  4. Let the soup simmer gently for about 15 minutes, allowing fennel to soften and apples to become tender.
  5. Discard bay leaves and thyme stems, then season with salt and black pepper. Ladle into bowls.
