Core fennel bulb. Thickly slice bulb. Heat butter in large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and celery. Cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in fennel, squash, broth and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, 15 to 30 minutes.

Soup will keep well covered and refrigerated for 3 days or freeze.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Enjoy!



The name UCLBS was inspired by the wit of the Upper Canada Lower Bowel Clinic in Toronto, a respected group of gastroenterologists. The UCLBS is, however, an independent group of Ontarians who are following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to treat inflammatory/irritable bowel problems, and does not represent therapy recommendations of the clinic.
