How to prepare fennel and potato soup

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes, then plunge them into cold water. In the meantime, clean the fennel and cut it into rather thin slices.

Put the fennel and potato pieces in a pot and cover completely with water, add salt and a teaspoon of fennel seeds. Boil the vegetables on a medium heat for 20-30 minutes, until soft.

Blend the vegetables with an immersion blender and add half a glass of milk for a more fluid fennel and potato soup. Serve with a drizzle of oil and toasted fennel seeds.
