When lightly browned, add fennel, lemongrass, tomato, garlic, bay leaf, and cognac. Cook for 3-4 minutes and add white wine. Add enough cold water to cover at least 3 inches over vegetables. Cook for 45 minutes. Carefully purð”soup in batches in a blender on high. Strain purð— soup into another pot with a fine cheesecloth. Add the milk or cream and cook over medium low heat for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add dry sherry and sherry vinegar and gently stir.
