Directions:
- Gently toast the fennel seeds in a dry frying pan for a couple of minutes, then crush them with the side of a knife and give them a quick chop.
- In a heavy-based saucepan, sweat the onion and garlic in the butter with the ground seeds for 5 minutes, then add the celery, leek and fennel. Season and stir.
- Cover the pan and cook over a low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring from time to time to avoid coloration.
- Add the stock, bring to the boil, give it a good skim and simmer for a further 15 minutes.
- For the croutons, remove the crusts and cut the bread into 2cm cubes.
- Heat the oil in a wide frying pan and add the anchovy pieces, using the back of a spoon to encourage them to melt in the hot oil. Now add and gently fry the croutons, moving them around constantly until they are approaching a nice, even golden brown - less than 5 minutes total cooking time.
- Use a slotted spoon to drain them briefly on kitchen roll and season with pepper.
- Meanwhile, finish the soup by pouring it into the blender and whizzing until smooth. Stir in the cream and season.
- Serve in hot bowls with a scattering of croutons on top.
