Preparation

  1. In a large pot, cover the fennel, onion, and garlic with water and cook on medium high heat until the fennel is tender.

  5. Also, add salt to taste, add the chopped carrots next and cook until they are tender.
  6. Once the carrots are cooked, add the cubed potatoesand cook until they are tender.
