List of Ingredients




• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons minced ginger
• 2 jalapeño chiles, seeds and stems removed, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 4 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, ground
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/4 cup anise-flavored liqueur

Recipe



In a large sauce pan, heat olive oil and add the ginger and jalapeños. Saute briefly until the ingredients begin to soften. Add the onion, celery, fennel seeds, and lime juice and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the anise liqueur and simmer until for 3 minutes. Add the minced fennel and the vegetable stock. Bring the soup to a boil and then cover. Turn down heat to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. In a food processor, puree the mixture in 3 parts.
