Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, and chopped fennel bulbs. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not colored.
-
Step 2.
Add the chopped chorizo and chicken stock to the saucepan. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
-
Step 3.
While the soup simmers, prepare the garnish: slice a few extra chorizo rounds and pick a few fresh tarragon leaves.
-
Step 4.
After 30 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the cream, lime juice, and chopped tarragon. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a food processor to blend until smooth.
-
Step 5.
Season the blended soup to taste with salt and white pepper. Pass the soup through a fine sieve into a clean pot or bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
-
Step 6.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each bowl with a couple of chorizo slices and a few fresh tarragon leaves. Serve immediately.
