Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tsp. coriander seeds
2 star anise
2 cardamom pods, crushed
1 whole clove
¼ cup canola oil
4 large bulbs (about 5 lbs.) fennel, trimmed and roughly chopped
1 large leek, white and pale green parts trimmed and roughly chopped (about 10 oz.)
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 cup dry white wine
6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
¼ cup Pernod
½ cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat coriander, star anise, cardamom, and clove in an 8-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until seeds begin to pop, 2-3 minutes. Transfer spices to a piece of cheesecloth and tie into a tight package; set aside. Add oil to pan; return to medium-high heat. Add fennel, leek, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 25-30 minutes. Add wine; cook until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. Add spice package and stock; boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, 10 minutes. Discard spice package and working in batches, purée soup in a blender until smooth. Return soup to saucepan and add Pernod, cream, salt, and white pepper; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thick, 3-5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve with crusty bread.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think it would have been better with a bit more broth. I also found the fennel flavor to be a bit too strong.

This soup is so easy to make, and it's absolutely delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the top, which gave it a nice cheesy flavor.
