Warming Fennel Soup Recipe (GAPS Friendly)

Fennel Soup Recipe

This fennel soup recipe is one of my favourites.  Often when we are experiencing digestive issues there are few foods that we can enjoy without feeling discomfort. It is wonderful to have a few nourishing meals which do not make you feel bloated or cause cramping up your sleeve.  This is a flavoursome soup recipe which is also gentle on the digestive system. This recipe is courtesy of my father – our family loves sitting in front of the fire with a bowl of this soup.
