Nutritional values

With less than 250 calories, plenty of vitamins and minerals as well as a good portion of high quality protein are added to the soup plate! And the best thing is: The spicy fennel cream soup is wonderfully filling without being a burden.

Cream of fennel soup as a stimulant? Why not: The zinc, which is abundant in mussels, actually raises testosterone levels, while anise is said to stimulate the female libido.
