Ingredients
  

  • 2 large fennel bulbs trimmed and sliced
  • 4 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a dairy-free option
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Roast the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On a large baking sheet, spread the sliced fennel, carrots, and chopped onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the vegetables to coat evenly and spread them out in a single layer.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
  • Prepare the soup: In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the roasted vegetables to the pot along with the fresh thyme leaves.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
  • Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, and heat through without bringing to a boil. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
