This simple but satisfying one-pot meal is based on Azorean sopa de funcho, or fennel soup. Fresh Portuguese linguiça sausage lends meatiness as well as bit of spice; if it’s not available, Mexican chorizo works well in its place. We skipped the potatoes used in traditional versions of the soup, and we mash half of the beans to lightly thicken the broth. A few fennel seeds heighten the licorice notes of the fresh fennel.
Servings
Don't throw out the fronds on the fennel bulb. Chop them to use as a garnish.
cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to serve
ounces fresh linguiça or chorizo sausage, cut into ½-inch pieces

super simple and perfect for a cold, rainy night! i halved the ingredients except the aromatics and spices, and added a potato. i left out the fennel seeds (didn't have them, didn't feel like running to the store) and I didn't notice the absence. sprinkled a little aleppo pepper at the end. will be keeping this in rotation for sure!
