Vegetarian Cream of Fennel Soup image

Make sure you roast the spices - in a pinch you can, of course, use pre-ground spices, but roasting them yourself intensifies the flavor a lot and really makes a difference in flavor.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 star anise
2 cardamom pods
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
olive oil
4 bulbs fennel, chopped

1 leek, sliced
salt to taste
1 cup dry white wine

Season with ground spice mix and salt, cover, and simmer over medium heat until flavors are well combined, about 25 minutes. Pour in white wine and cook until wine has reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Puree fennel soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Add cream and heat, but do not let boil. Season with salt.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra water and it helped, but it still wasn't as thin as I would have liked.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped.
