Fennel & Celeriac Creamy Soup

Hi there! I haven’t been posting anything for a while, but I’m still around :-). This is a very simple one, born very quickly and using what I had in the fridge. some evenings ago. I don’t like fennel that  much, buth I had bought it and I had to eat it somehow…It was delicious! Delicate but with a distinctive flavour, very thick as we like it.

Ingredients:
1/2 fennel
celeriac, I guess it was about 100/150 gr
1/8 apple
miso
extra virgin olive oil
coriander
water (or veg broth)
nutmeg
a pinch on cinnamon (to taste)

Method:
Chop  the vegetables and the apple and place them in a pan. Add a little water (enough to avoid them to get stuck to the pan), and, if you wish, a little olive oil. Also, add some miso (to taste) and a pinch of cinnamon. Turn the fire on and sautée them very quickly. Let them go for about 2 minutes. Now add some water or vegetable broth, better if they’re hot. I use the microwave for this purpose…The quantity of liquid you need depends, of course, on the thicnkess you want to achieve. We like it very dense. So, just a little water for us! Let it cook until celeriac and fennel are done and purée it with a hand blender. Serve it still hot, garnishing with a coriander leaf, nutmeg and, if you like, a drizzle of olive oil.
It was so heartwarming! The apple gives it quite a fresh taste, but, for my palate, without adding any sweetness. Of course, to make it more creamy and hearty, you may want to use some veg cream or milk.
See you soon guys, take care!
