Excellent soup. Since the market only had large fennel, I chopped it, added a little oil and roasted the fennel for 20 minutes. Chef Tyler is clear that the fennel is the "base of the soup" and that it is added to the soup bowl before the soup is poured around it. The fennel is used as a "garnish."

The final soup does taste good. But as a warning Chantrelle mushrooms are hard to find and expensive. Also, it's not clear how much olive oil to add during the fennel roasting. It states to add oil about halfway up the bulb, but, that could be up to 2 cups of oil (depending on your roasting pan. Lastly, it isn't clear when to add the fennel, so I simply place each bulb into the soup serving. It worked out well in the end.

Way to go Tyler! This soup is out-of-this world. My (very picky husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and we found that it is so perfect for the autumn season. I can't wait to make it for guests! I didn't change a thing.

For us, this will be our 5th year with this recipe on our thanksgiving table! This is by far the best mushroom soup we've ever had. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

It was very easy, however it would have been nice to know when to add the roasted fennel. The recipe does not tell you when to add it to the pot, but I took a chance and added it to the boiling pot, and it worked out ok. Thanks Tyler!

This was the second show I watched today specifically to see one recipe, and the recipe was NOT on the show (the first was Everyday Italian! What's up, Food Network? Have segments been cut out of the older shows so you can fit in more commercials?

I made this recipe using only the fennel seeds, since we'd not tried fennel before. We LOVED the unique flavor of the fennel with the mushroom soup base. And the chestnuts, while requiring a little effort, were well worth it! I will try it again with roasted fennel the next time I make it. DELICIOUS!

Unexpected taste at first, but when flavors adjust, HOLD ON! It is one of the most interesting soups I've had in a long while.
