Velvety and silky texture with a delicate, fresh taste. Simple to make, but elegant enough for dinner guests.
Ingredients
- 1 large fennel bulb, cored and chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ¼ cup chopped shallot
- 3 cups unsalted chicken stock
- ½ cup apple juice
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 large tart apples (such as Granny Smith) – peeled, cored, and chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 large bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- ½ cup crumbled Greek feta cheese
Directions
Step 1
Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add fennel and shallot; cook for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in chicken stock, apple juice, white wine, apples, thyme, and bay leaf. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until everything is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the pot from heat. Remove and discard bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Puree soup with an immersion blender or in a food processor until smooth. Work in batches, if necessary, return soup to the pot. Season with salt and pepper and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
