6 tbsp coconut milk
2 1/2 dl (1 cup) pre-cooked chickpeas, rinsed

Procedure
Scrub potatoes, peel carrots and parsnips and cut into similarly sized chunks. Cook in generously salted water for about 15 min or until soft but with a slight bite. Drain and set aside.
Chop the onion and fennel. Heat a glug of oil in a large, wide sauce pan and sauté the onion and fennel on medium low heat until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, fennel seeds, anise seeds and chiliflakes and sauté for another 1-2 min.
Then add crushed tomatoes, white wine, water + bouillon (or stock), coconut milk, sugar, allpice, thyme, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
Then add the potatoes, carrot, parsnip and chickpeas. Let simmer for 10 min or longer if you have time. Taste and adjust the spices. You can add more water if you want a more soupy consistency.
Serve the bouillabaisse with drizzle of olive oil, more coconut milk or a dollop of plant based yoghurt/sour cream, sprinkle of fresh herbs and bread on the side.
