2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, diced
1 fennel bulb, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
2 medium carrots, cubed
2 medium zucchinis, cubed
2 medium yellow squash, cubed
1 medium turnip, chopped
1 medium kohlrabi, chopped
1 (6-ounce) box mushrooms, sliced
1 cup Gefen Organic Chickpeas
1/2 tablespoon salt, plus more to taste
coarse Gefen Black Pepper, to taste (optional)
Heat one tablespoon oil in a pot on medium heat. Add onion and a sprinkle of salt and sauté for about eight minutes or until softened.
Add chopped fennel and sauté another five minutes. Then add garlic and salt and sauté for two minutes.
Add all the chopped veggies besides the mushrooms and chickpeas.
Add six to seven cups of water or enough to cover an inch above the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for an hour and a half, stirring occasionally.
In a separate frying pan, heat one tablespoon of oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms. Once the soup is cooked, add the mushrooms and chickpeas. Cook an additional 15 minutes.
Add salt or pepper to taste. If soup is too thick, add a little boiling water. If soup is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to thicken.

I don’t like fennel so I replaced it with leek. Delicious!
A creative substitute! Enjoy it
YUUMM!
Right!? And so comforting too!
Looks delicious. Can the mushrooms be left out or is there a good substitute for them?
Yes, you could leave them out or replace with a different veggie if you’d prefer.
Sooo good! I make it all the time!
Freeze well? Does this soup freeze well? Thank you!
yes
Does the fennel bulb have a strong flavor in the soup? I haven’t used it before but have heard that it has a black licorice type flavor….
When cooked it doesn’t have such a strong flavor but you can also leave it out if you’d prefer.
EXCELLENT!! TASTY AND HEALTHY
Yum! Fun dicing the veggies and even more to serve!! The sautéd mushrooms!!
