Preparation
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and chopping the fennel, carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, and zucchini. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger according to your taste preference.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped fennel, carrots, and celery to the pot. Continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Cook the Soup: Add the potatoes, zucchini, and ginger to the pot. Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables by about an inch. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the frozen green peas and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh dill.
- Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt or sour cream with the minced garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper for a bit of heat. Mix well and set aside.
- Toast the Bread: Drizzle the slices of bread with olive oil. Toast in a pan or under the broiler until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Add a generous dollop of the garlic sauce on top, and serve with the toasted bread on the side.
