Hot soup for the coldest November in 104 years!!!

Brrrrrrrrr.... This is the perfect lunch for today's weather.


Fennel soup


Serves 4


Ingredients:


60g butter
2 chopped fennel bulbs
2 chopped onions
1 pinch of Chinese 5 spice
1 litre vegetable stock




Melt the butter in  a large saucepan. Pop in the fennel, onion and Chinese five spice then cook for about 20 minutes (it needs to be soft but not browned).


Add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes.


Blend until smooth. Stir in a dash of double cream if you don't mind the calories. It's just as yummy without though.
