  1. 1

  2. 2

    Warm the butter and olive oil together in a pot over medium-low heat.

    Add the sliced fennel, spring onions, and 1 cup of the stock. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the fennel is soft and translucent.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining stock to the pot; add the potato. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the potato is very soft and cooked through, about 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Lightly mash the vegetables with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon until the soup is thick and chunky.

  6. 6

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
