Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 shallot peeled and sliced into wedges
  • 1 fennel bulb cored and sliced into wedges stalks sliced into rounds, fonds reserved
  • 4 stalks celery trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable stock

Instructions

Cook the Vegetables:

  • Heat the butter in a wide sauté pan over medium heat until melted and frothy. Add the shallot, sliced fennel bulb, sliced fennel stalks, and celery and cook for 4-5 minutes or until just beginning to soften.

Prepare the Soup:

  • Add the vegetable stock and beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Finish the Soup:

  • Add the sugar snap peas, parsley, and dill. Nestle the trout fillets into the broth, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until bright green and the trout is cooked through and opaque. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

To Serve:

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced watermelon radish and microgreens, if desired. Place a trout fillet on top and serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Enjoy!
