Creamy broccoli & fennel soup

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 yellow onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 heads of broccoli (florets and stem), chopped 
• 1 medium fennel head (bulb and fronds), chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth (organic if possible) 
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
• 1 can coconut cream (organic if possible)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the oil to a pot over medium heat. Saute the onions for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and saute an additional minute. Add the broccoli, fennel, herbs, and salt, and cover with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer until just tender.
2. Add the coconut cream and blend the soup by using an immersion blender or transfering it to a regular blender. (If using a regular blender, be very careful as the steam can sometimes cause the lid to blow off. I recommend allowing the soup to cool for a few minutes, then blending small batches while holding the lid down with a large pot holder or towel in hand).
3. Serve warm.
