directions
1. in a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. cut leek lengthwise, then slice into half-moons and place into a bowl of water and stir to remove sand and grit. cut stems and fronds from the fennel, slice lengthwise, then trim and discard the core. cut remaining fennel in thin slices. drain leeks, then combine with fennel, salt and pepper.
2. cook for 5 minutes, until tender. add the potatoes, ground coriander, ground fennel and chicken stock.
MAKE IT VEGAN: use vegetable stock instead!
3. bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to low heat cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft. add baby spinach and cook for 1 minute.
4. turn off the heat and add cheese – or swap with coconut milk to make it vegan!
