How to make it
- Cut off and discard upper stalks of fennel, snipping and reserving feathery leaves for garnish. Remove any wilted outer layers of fennel and discard; remove core. Finely chop remaining fennel; set aside.
- In a large saucepan cook onion and garlic in hot cooking oil about 5 min. or until onions are tender. Carefully add chopped fennel, broth, turnip, potato, carrot, and white pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 30 min. Cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, for curry croutons, in a medium bowl combine olive oil and curry powder. Add the torn bread pieces; toss until coated. Spread bread pieces in a single layer in a 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Bake at 350F for 20 min. until croutons begin to brown, stirring once.
- Place 1/3 of the vegetable mixture in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth; pour into a medium bowl. Repeat twice with remaining mixture. Return all to sauce pan. Stir in beans and half and half ; heat through. Season to taste with salt.
- To serve, ladle soup into four soup bowl. If desired, float a few of the curry croutons on each serving. Garnish with snipped fennel leaves... Enjoy....
