Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fennel Soup with Peas & Lemon
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Trim the fennel bulbs by removing the stalks and cutting them into wedges. Thinly slice a small onion. In a roasting tin, combine the fennel, onion, and unpeeled garlic cloves with rapeseed or sunflower oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast the fennel, onion, and garlic for 25-30 minutes until the fennel is soft and golden-brown and the garlic skins are slightly charred.
  3. Allow the vegetables to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skins into the roasting tin and discard the skins.
  4. In a large saucepan, bring 750 ml of vegetable stock to a gentle boil. Add the roasted vegetables and 200 g of frozen peas. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Blend the soup base until smooth, incorporating 100 ml of coconut milk, the juice of half a lemon, and baby spinach and parsley.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with coconut milk and fresh herbs.
