This soup freezes well, so freeze it in individual servings so you have it handy. Fennel is a higher potassium vegetable but pairing it with an acceptable potassium vegetable like corn is a great way to safely include it into your diet!
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 kg frozen corn
- 2 onions/leeks chopped
- 1 celery stalk chopped
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 cups chopped fennel
- black pepper to taste
- tarragon to taste
- 2 liters cold water
Sauté shrimp shells in oil until the shells turn pink.
Add onion, celery, garlic, fennel, & corn and sauté until the onions become translucent and the flavour begins to develop.
Add the liquid and bring to a boil.
Let simmer for at least 30 minutes.
Process soup in a blender and strain to remove excess fibers.
Adjust seasonings with freshly ground black pepper and tarragon.
