Photo: Darina Kopcok
Makes 4 cup-size servings or 2 large bowl servings
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, minced
1/2 Tbsp. fennel seeds
1/2 tsp. sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 cups filtered water
1 large yellow turnip, peeled and cubed
1 bulb fresh fennel, chopped, divided
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
1 (15-oz) can full-fat coconut milk (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup hemp seeds, for garnish
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish
Directions
In a skillet, melt the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, fennel seeds and salt and pepper and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer to a slow-cooker. Stir in the filtered water. Add the turnip, fennel, cumin, cinnamon and cardamom to the slow-cooker, stirring so all of the ingredients are well coated with the spices.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the turnip is tender. Stir in the coconut milk and puree the soup using an immersion blender in the slow-cooker, or transfer the soup to a high-speed blender and blend in batches if necessary. Season to taste with sea salt.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with hemp seeds and chopped cilantro.
