Beet and Fennel Soup?

Well, it looks pretty.

I had some beets, which I would normally roast and put in a salad.  But I also had some fennel, which I had no idea what to do with. 

So what did I do?

I found the boldest and most bizarre recipe for both ingredients I possibly could and decided to make it.

It was okay.  Bold.  Different.  Very fennel-ish.

I put some crumbled goat cheese on top of it and I couldn't decide if it made it better or worse.

But I did eat all of it.  And so did Will.  (He actually drank it.)

I don't think I will make it again, though I did save the leftovers and I do plan on eating them.

I am, however, very interested in making more soups with beets.... stay tuned!
