This is the time of year I get borderline obsessed with blended soups – I find that I crave the texture and they are an excellent way to get some extra bone broth in. I like to double this recipe and have some to heat up for breakfast with my leftover meat. This one also freezes well (sans avocado), so it would make a lovely addition to a batch cooking routine.

Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large fennel bulb, ends removed and sliced thinly
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 3 cups bone broth
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon salt
- fennel fronds, for garnish
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the coconut oil and sauté the fennel for about 12 minutes, or until it softens. Add the ginger and garlic to the pot and cook for a few more minutes, stirring.
- Add the broth, beets, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn down to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the beets are tender.

Quick question? I’m new at this whole Paleo for autoimmune … I got diagnosed with Lupus and wanna give this lifestyle change a try 🙂 just wondering what is bone broth? Looking at your beet fennel soup recipe!
Thanx
Hey Maria! Bone broth is made by cooking the bones from pastured animals for a long time to make an extremely healing and mineral-rich broth. I like these instructions:

I just made this and it is super delicious, nutritious and simple to make! I didn’t have any garlic so I omitted it and it still taste great! I also use regular chicken broth. If you like healthy eating this soup is perfect! Thank you for the recipe!
Glad you enjoyed it Kay!
[…] got this recipe from Mickey and Angie over at AutoimmuneWellness.com, so all credit to them. Be sure to check them […]
I’m sensitive to fennel so I subbed in celery and then chopped up the beet greens as well since I was experimenting already. Delicious! I see the photo has avocado; may use it & serve it cold. Any experience with eating it cold, too?
Rory – great modification! Yes, you can eat this one cold as well, very refreshing in the summer!

Any thoughts on Instant Pot conversion? Sautee then pressure cook for…?
Hi Leslie! I have not made this soup in an IP before, but I would start with maybe 5 minutes cooking time?
