Mushroom & fennel soup

500g mushrooms (anything you like but I used chestnuts this time)
200g fennel
50g shallots
6 cloves of garlic
soy sauce
tarragon
750 ml of stock (chicken or veg)
cream

1. Chop fennel, onion & garlic and soften in a little oil over a fairly low heat for 15 minutes. It will be blitzed so the chopping size is not very important. Transfer to slow cooker.
2. Chop mushrooms and fry in a little oil adding soy sauce and tarragon if you like. Transfer to slow cooker.
3. Add stock (I always heat it as the slow cooker takes an age to heat it up). Cook on medium for 3 hours.
4, Transfer to blender, add cream if you like (just a splash) and blitz.
5. Season to taste, though probably unnecessary if you have used soy sauce,
It only takes half an hour or so if using a simmering pan on the stove.

Enjoy
