Tried this recipe ,couldn’t find the champagne vingar,rosemary and fennel what can you subtitute for those ingredients ,first time wasn’t bad
Glad you tried it! Here are some substitution suggestions:
Champagne vinegar – any white wine vinegar (or even white)
Fennel – 1/2 cup additional chopped onion, and 1/2 cup celery (if you have fennel seeds, add 1 teaspoon fennel seeds in addition to the onion and celery)
Rosemary – you could substitute an equal amount of oregano or basil, or if you’re using dried, use 1 teaspoon.
I tried this recipe today I don’t care for the traditional Thanksgiving meal this year. I followed the recipe and it smells great, but I don’t particularly like it. It’s healthy and I’m glad I made it but this will be a one-time recipe for me.
Love everything about this soup, esp that it’s healthy & punches sooo much flavor. I do make a shrimp stock instead of canned. Thanks for sharing
