¼ cup almonds, chopped
2 cups cold water

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion and fennel seeds until onion is soft.  
  2. Add remaining ingredients to the pan and cover with the saucepan lid.   Bring to a boil.  Turn heat down low and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes.
  3. Turn heat off and stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
