Zucchini Potato And Fennel Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add fennel bulb and zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup, covered, until fennel is soft, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
