  1. Saute/fry fresh fennel, onion, celery, and leeks in two Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil for five min. Add in garlic, red pepper, green pepper, wine, and Sambucca. Simmer for 2 min, then add in chicken stock, oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, and grnd fennel seed.
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for ten min. Stir in chicken, rice, and salt to taste. Thicken slightly with cornstarch dissolved in water. Check for seasonings, heat thoroughly, and serve.
  3. Comments: This is a soup which just will not let you stop with one bowl. A rich, clear broth with great chicken flavor, a hint of anise from the fennel, and rice for body. It has become a favorite of the Inn's guests since it was created. Serve it accompanied with a Zesty Mustard Salad and several loaves of a crusty French bread. Fresh Brie, fruit, and the last of the bread should be a fine ending to the meal (except for the Chocoholics in the party).
