Fennel-Carrots aromatic soup is a bowl of happiness.
This flavourful vibrant soup is a great source of vitamins, nutritions and a good mood. You can also easily turn it into a dairy-free version by replacing the cream with a lactose-free cream, coconut or almond milk.
Ingredients:
- Carrots – 500 g
- Fennel – 1 bulb

- Wash the carrots and fennel.
- Peel the carrots, sweet potato and onion, slice them into big chunks. Also, trim the fennel and chop it into quarters.
- Place vegetables on a roasting dish, splash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast on the middle shelf of the oven for 20 minutes. Then add the half of chilli pod as well as unpeeled and slightly smashed garlic cloves. Stir everything well and return to the oven for 20 minutes more.
