Onion, Fennel and Celery Soup

This onion, fennel and celery soup is as comforting as it is refreshing and works perfectly as a detox either in winter and summer.
We also added a handful of caraway seeds so for jazz it up even more.

Finely slice the onion and fennel into small pieces, dice the celery stalks.

Carefully sauté the chopped onions in 2 tbsp EVOO with a handful of caraway seeds for 10 minutes in a saucepan together with the bay leaf.
