Fennel, Leek, and Zucchini Soup

I tried the fantastic vegan fennel and garlic soup at Real Food Daily a few weeks ago, which inspired me to try my hand at something similar.  This was surprisingly easy, and — get this — might actually be one of the most delicious and satisfying things I’ve ever made.

Fennel, Leek, and Zucchini Soup

By: Andrew Wilder
This was surprisingly easy, and — get this — might actually be one of the most delicious and satisfying things I’ve ever made.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes
Total: 55 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 Fennel Bulb, sliced
  • 5 stalks Celery, sliced
  • 2 Leeks, sliced
  • 3-5 cloves Garlic, diced OR 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Zucchini, with skin still on, sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cups Hot Water
  • 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base
  • 2 cups Fat-Free Milk

Instructions 

  • In a large saucepan, sauté the olive oil, fennel, celery, and leeks for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and saute another 5 minutes, or until everything’s soft.
  • In a bowl or large measuring cup, mix the bouillon into the water to make a veggie broth, then add to the veggie mix. The veggies should be completely covered in broth. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and pour in a large ceramic bowl to cool a little (or whatever works). Purée everything with an immersion blender, regular blender, or food processor.
  • Once the veggies are puréed, add the milk and blend, just briefly. Place back on the stove and heat again, stirring frequently, and be careful not to boil.
  • Garnish with a spring of fennel and a drizzle of olive oil.

better than bouillon contains hydrolyzed soy protein which is another name for MSG. that stuff is toxic..other than that, i think this recipe sounds great and I’m gonna try it with some nut milk and chicken stock.
