If you like fennel, try this fine fennel soup. Fennel is simply simmered in stock and pureed with cream.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 bulbs fennel, chopped, fronds reserved
- 2 cups water
- 1 cube vegetable bouillon
- ½ cup heavy cream
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent. Whisk in flour and stir until a paste forms, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk water and vegetable bouillon into the saucepan. Add fennel and bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until fennel is soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Puree soup with an immersion blender. Stir in cream. If soup is too thick, add more water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Chop fennel fronds. Divide soup between 4 bowls and sprinkle with fennel fronds.
Cook’s Note:
You can use a chicken stock cube instead of vegetable stock cube, but then the soup is no longer vegetarian.
