The Raw Truth

Fennel-Berry Soup

In Kula, on the island of Maui, the Kula black raspberry grows. Wherever the raspberry grows, wild fennel grows as well. I would often rub my

fingers on the fennel flowers and then pick the berries. The taste was fabulous, and that is how the flavor combination for this soup was created.

SERVES 2 TO 4

3 cups raspberries

3 cups blueberries

2 tablespoons chopped fresh fennel fronds

2 cups filtered water

1 avocado, pitted and peeled

Fresh fennel fronds, for garnish

Place the berries in the blender with the chopped fennel and blend while slowly adding the water. Add the avocado and continue to blend until
smooth. Pour into bowls, garnish with fennel fronds, and serve.
