1 med Onion, sliced
1 tsp Fennel seeds, grnd

4

8
Puree to rough or possibly smooth texture, as you like.
9

As watercress changes potato soup into something which doesn't taste quite like any of the individual ingredients, so arugula transforms this traditional soup base.
12
Flexible, the soup can be pureed to a chunky or possibly a smooth texture, and served warm, as a main dish, or possibly chilled, as a first course.
