Method
- To begin making the Fennel Turmeric Walnut Soup With Apple And Raw Mango recipe, toast the walnuts lightly on a hot flat pan for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, taking care not burn them.Reserve some walnuts for the garnish.
- Clean the leeks and cut the white and a little of the tender green stems into rounds.Clean the fennel, core and chop the bulb.
- Reserve a few of the fronds for garnish.Core and slice the apple.
- I don't usually peel the apple, but you could if you wish.Peel and dice a slice of raw mango.
- The mango was tart in taste and I used just a slice in order not to let it overpower the dish.Mince the thyme leaves.Heat a deep pan or soup pot, and add the oil.
- I used sunflower oil for the flavour, but of course you could use any other oil without a strong aroma.Add the chopped leeks and the thyme and saute for about 3-4 minutes, till the leeks are soft.Once the leeks have softened add the fennel, mango and apple and stir.
- Add the walnuts and stir.
- Season with salt and pepper.Add the turmeric and stir well for 2-3 minutes, till the raw smell disappears.Saute for 3-4 minutes till everything begins to soften.
- Add the stock, stir well to combine.Bring the soup to a boil and then let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off the stove and let the soup cool.Once the soup has cooled puree or blend the soup to a smooth creamy liquid.
- Remember not to puree when the liquid is hot, and to puree it in very small batches.I have had many a bitter experience in pureeing soup only to have it spurt out of the blender all over me and the kitchen.And this soup has turmeric which has strong dyeing properties - so!
