Beet and Fennel Soup

Beet and Fennel Soup

Beet and Fennel Soup

Adapted from Bon Appétit

This soup recipe is from the latest issue (January 2011) of Bon Appétit.  I was curious about the kefir, a tangy yogurt-like drink, in the soup; especially paired with the fennel and beets.  I knew the flavor of the beets in combination with the fennel worked well, because I’ve made salads with thinly sliced fennel and roasted beets.  I also put goat cheese in this salad, which now that I think about it, is kind of what the kefir is acting like in the soup – creamy and tangy.  The creamy, tanginess of the kefir marries well with the sweet beets and the sweet-savory fennel.  For a complete meal serve with a salad or a steamed artichoke.
