As some of you probably already know by now I’m a huge soup lover ๐Ÿ™‚ And this weeks recipe is one of my absolute favorites. And as an extra bonus this Anti-inflammatory Carrot & Fennel Soup, is the only way I can get my, lovely but very picky, hubby to eat anything with fennel ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anti-inflammatory Carrot & Fennel SoupIt is really creamy, and gets a little kick from the added anti-inflammatory spices turmeric and ginger. I enjoy this soup as breakfast, lunch and dinner…. but then again I can eat soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day of the week ๐Ÿ˜‰ Especially during the cold periods of the year. During the autumn and winter time this kind of thick vegetable soup is my go to breakfast, whereas smoothies and smoothie bowls is the favorite during the spring and summer.

Anti-inflammatory Carrot & Fennel Soup in the making :)

Now for the recipe, chop up the (white) onion and the fennel. Add a little coconut oil to a big pot, and cook the onion and fennel till they turn translucent. Add some minced garlic if you like. Then clean the carrots and potatoes, slice up the carrots and cut the potatoes into cubes. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, give it a big stir before you add the bone broth and water.

Fresh Turmeric and Ginger Root

As for the turmeric and ginger, I prefer to use the fresh roots instead of the dried spices. So if you can get your hand on the fresh stuff, do use it ๐Ÿ™‚ I usually use about 10 g of each for this recipe. But if you want it to be pack a bigger punch, feel free to add more. I usually peel them, which is not really necessary, so feel free to leave the peel on. Two things enhances the absorption of curcumin (the active component in turmeric) and that is piperine (active component of black pepper) and fat. For optimal health benefits of turmeric, it can therefor be advised to add some black pepper, if tolerated.

Anti-inflammatory Carrot & Fennel Soup - this is totally creamy and yummy!!

Bring the soup to a boil, turn down the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. When the carrots and potatoes are so soft that they fall of the fork when you prick them, the soup is ready to be blended. Blend till you get a smooth soup. Salt to taste and add the coconut milk, and bring the soup to a boil once again. Turn off the heat the moment the soups starts boiling, and now the soup is ready to be served ๐Ÿ™‚ Enjoy this wonderful anti-inflammatory autumn soup with some toasted pumpkin seed. YUM \o/

Notes:
This recipe feeds 6-8 people, if you are cooking for less, you can either cut the recipe in half or freeze down the left overs. This soup freezes well.

Also please note that the nutritional data is an estimate at best, since I make my own bone broth. I normally don’t skim of the fat of my bone broth, which means that my soups probably also have a significantly higher fat content ๐Ÿ˜‰

My 4 year old granddaughterate a huge bowl, my 15 month old twin granddaughters loved it and one kept signing more plus finally found a recipe my husband liked. Thanks for the great recipe.
