Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes
Clean and wash the fennel, halve it, and slice it thinly, including the stalk. Set the fennel greens aside. Place the fennel in a saucepan with the stock and fennel seeds and let it simmer slightly below boiling point, about 15 minutes, until tender. Remove one-third of the fennel from the soup with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the cream, cold butter, and brown butter to the soup and puree with a hand blender. Peel and slice the garlic. Stir it into the fennel soup with the ginger and curry powder and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the orange zest. Season the fennel soup with salt and a pinch of chili powder, and pour it through a not-too-fine sieve. Place the reserved fennel into preheated, deep bowls. Use a hand blender to froth the soup, scatter the liquid around the fennel, and garnish with the fennel greens.
