Creating Fennel Leek Soup with Walnuts & Turmeric can be done effortlessly if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Sauté Leeks and Fennel: Add the sliced leeks and chopped fennel to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
3. Add Garlic and Turmeric: Stir in the minced garlic and ground turmeric. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Season: Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
7. Blend: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches if you do not have an immersion blender.
8. Add Walnuts: Stir in the toasted walnuts just before serving for texture and flavor.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or dill for a burst of color and flavor.
