2 T unsalted butter

1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter over medium heat in an 8 qt saucepan. 2. Add shallot and garlic and sweat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. 3. Add fennel, apple, celery, lemon, honey, salt, and chicken stock and bring to a simmer 4. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until everything is very tender and cooked through. 5. Remove from heat and toss in the greens and herbs. Puree the soup in two batches. You can pass it through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture. I prefer it well processed and hearty. 6.
