I made this tonight. I made a few changes. I used an onion instead of a leek. I added two squirts of Sriracha and 2 Tablespoons capers. I also added 1 Tablespoon of ghee. My husband LOVED it!!!

I made a few changes to this. I added 1 sliced shallot, 1/2 c. vermouth (use something good like NP, the cheap stuff is awful), additional salt & pepper, potato cubes, and a few shakes of tabasco sauce. I also used a lobster bouillon base too. Very good for a quickie recipe.

I just finished making this recipe. It is very mild. I added some chilli flakes to give to some heat. I think the next time I make it I'll add some white wine to the broth. Nonetheless I think it's a good base recipe.

This is a great quick recipe. If you don't like the fennel you don't have to add it. I always add a little saffron and shelled clams. YUM!
