Fennel Soup with Lentils

Cut fennel into pieces barely the width of a finger. Chop the onion into small pieces. Heat oil, sauté onion and lentils over medium heat, stirring for a few seconds. Add fennel, pour in clear soup, bring to a boil and cook lentils for 5 min at low temperature with lid closed.

While the lentils are cooking, roast the pumpkin seeds in a frying pan without adding fat at low temperature until they are delicately fragrant. Stir now and then.

Stir the whipped cream into the soup and heat, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and divide evenly among preheated plates. Sprinkle with chives and pumpkin seeds.

Tip: As an alternative to fresh chives, you can also use the freeze-dried.
