Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 leeks (sliced, about 4 cups; white and light green parts only)

FENNEL, GARLIC AND POTATO SOUP



Fennel, Garlic and Potato Soup image

This anise-scented soup is reminiscent of the classic potato and leek soup known as vichyssoise, but it's lighter and contains no dairy. It's good hot or cold.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large or 1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 pounds bulb fennel, trimmed, washed and diced
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
6 garlic cloves or 1/2 head green garlic, peeled and cut in half
Salt to taste
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs each parsley and thyme, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds and 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, tied in cheesecloth
2 quarts water, vegetable stock or chicken stock
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh fennel fronds
Lightly crushed fennel seeds
Paper-thin slices of fennel bulb
Garlic croutons
Shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the onion, celery, chopped fennel and a generous pinch of salt. Cook gently for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables have softened and lost some of their volume. Add the potatoes, garlic, bouquet garni and the water or stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, add salt to taste, cover and simmer 45 minutes.
  • Remove the bouquet garni. Blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender, or ladle into a blender, working in 1 1/2-cup batches. Remove the center from the blender cover, place a towel over the cover and pull it down tightly to prevent splashing. Blend and return to the pot. Heat through, add salt and pepper to taste and serve, or chill and serve cold, with your choice of garnishes.

Tips:

  • Fennel: Use fresh fennel bulbs for the best flavor. Trim the fennel bulbs, removing any tough outer leaves and the stalks. Cut the bulbs into thin slices.
  • Potatoes: Use a starchy potato, such as russet or Yukon Gold, for a creamy soup. Peel and dice the potatoes.
  • Leeks: Trim the leeks, removing any tough outer leaves and the root end. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and rinse them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Slice the leeks thinly.
  • Garlic: Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. Mince the garlic cloves.
  • Vegetable Broth: Use a low-sodium vegetable broth to control the saltiness of the soup. You can also use water, but the broth will add more flavor.
  • Spices: Use a combination of dried thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves to add flavor to the soup. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Cooking: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish: Serve the soup garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This vegan fennel, potato, and leek soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different vegetables, spices, and garnishes to create a soup that you and your family will love.
