I loved this soup! It is simple, but with with fennel, you really don't need lots of other flavors. I made this as written, and did the partial puree. The egg yolk and flour thicken this just perfectly without making it too rich or thick. I used the fennel leaves for a pretty garnish. Thanx for sharing!
