The easiest and quickest way would be to chop and saute the onions and garlic, add the sliced or chopped fennel, diced potato and/or sweet potato and then add some stock (not too much - easy to add more if needed to thin it down a bit at the end, but if you want to end up with a puree you don't want it too runny). Simmer away until all the veg are soft, adding the broccoli a few minutes after everything else so it doesn't get soggy. Then liquidise. You need to taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary. I often add some lemon juice to a soup like this just before serving.

If the fennel is baked, put everything except the sweet potatoes together (judge how much of your potatoes, too*) with some watered down gravy/stock cube and crumble cheese (Stilton?) on top once blitzed.

If the fennel is raw, it will keep.

*I find roast potato skins in soup can make it a bit too sweet.

Thank you both.

The fennel is raw.

How many potatoes should I use - I have a few!
