Instructions: Serves 4 to 6
Total time: 30 minutes

In a large soup pot, combine the vegetable stock, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, dill, and fennel. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and their juice. Add the bulgur and mix well. Return to a boil and simmer, covered, for another 15 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender, stirring occasionally. Add pepper to taste.

[I served each bowl with a wedge of lemon to be squeezed into the soup as desired.]

NOTES : This is a very easy-to-make, quick-cooking soup with readily available ingredients that are found in almost every pantry. Here a light tomato broth is made hearty with the addition of bulgur.

The soup tends to thicken as it sits, so if you arent serving it immediately, you may want to add a bit of water or stock.
