Servings 4 bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg carrots chopped
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 fennel bulb chopped
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds crush to a powder
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 tsp garlic puree
  • 2 Organic chicken stock cubes (if you want to make this vegetarian then use vegetable stock)
  • 1.1 litres boiling water
  • salt and pepper seasoning
  • fresh coriander optional to serve

Instructions
 

  • Chop and wash all the vegetables. In a large sauce pan on a medium heat warm the oil and add the garlic purée.
  • Add all the vegetables and pour in 300ml of chicken stock, bring to a boil, place the lid on and leave on the heat for 10 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and add 200ml of chicken stock. Using a soup stick start to whizz up your vegetables until it looks like a purée.
  • Gradually add all the stock and keep blending until you are happy with the consistency of your soup.
  • Using a mortar and pestle crush up your fennel seeds until you have a powder. Add to your soup, season well with salt and pepper.
  • Put back on the heat for 10 minutes on a low heat to cook through.
  • Serve with half a cheese toasty or some crunchy bread, garnish the soup with coriander if you wish. Enjoy!
