Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • 1 lemon
  • 6 or 7 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 leek
  • 3 or 4 celery ribs (about ½ pound total)
  • 1 or 2 cloves peeled fresh garlic
  • ½ cup cooked cannellini beans
  • 1 or 2 carrots (about 6 ounces total)
  • 1 pasture-raised organic egg
  • Carrot spice blend (coconut flour - granulated garlic - sweet smoked paprika)
  • Fish options:
  • 2 wild cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 wild Alaskan halibut fillets (about 5 ounces each)
  • 2 ounces leafy greens (such as chopped kale)
Chef's Tip
If you prefer a creamier soup, in Step 5, before adding the cannellini beans, you can transfer the leek, celery, garlic, and water to a food processor and puree until smooth. Warm in the pot for 2 to 3 minutes and then add the cannellini beans and continue cooking as directed.

Make It Ahead
You can prepare the soup and herb oils (Steps 1–3 and the first half of Step 5) up to 1 day ahead. In Step 5, skip the fish prep, then after you bring the water to a boil, let the broth cool, cover, and refrigerate the broth and oils separately. Before serving, return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer. While the broth reheats, prep and cook the fritters, then proceed with the rest of Step 5.
Make It Leaner
Skipping the lemon-herb oil in Step 2 and instead, cooking the fritters in olive oil and garnishing the dish with lemon zest and parsley shaves off 120 calories and 14 grams of fat per serving.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the lemon-herb oil ingredients

  • Zest and juice the lemon; set aside the juice for the soup. [Zest 1 lemon; juice both lemons.]
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a small heatproof bowl, stir together the lemon zest and parsley and season with salt and pepper.

2

Prepare the herb oils

In a medium [large] frying pan over medium heat, warm 3 tablespoons [¼ cup plus 2 TBL] oil and the rosemary sprigs until hot but not smoking, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent scorching. Remove from the heat and discard the rosemary sprigs.
Carefully spoon 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] rosemary oil over the parsley mixture and set aside for garnish. Reserve 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] rosemary oil in the pan for cooking the fritters.

3

Prep the soup ingredients

  • Trim the root ends from the leek; cut the leek in half lengthwise, then crosswise into enough ¼-inch-thick half-moons to measure 1½ cups [3 cups]. Rinse and pat dry.
  • Trim the ends from the celery; cut the celery crosswise into ½-inch pieces.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
  • Rinse the cannellini beans.

4

Prep and cook the carrot fritters

  • Scrub or peel the carrots and trim off the ends; using the large holes of a box grater, coarsely grate the carrots.
  • Crack the egg into a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using a whisk or fork, lightly beat until just blended.
  • To the bowl with the beaten egg, stir in the carrots until just combined. Add the carrot spice blend, season with salt and pepper, and stir until combined.
Place the pan with the remaining rosemary oil over medium-high heat and warm until hot but not smoking. Working in batches as needed, using a spoon or a ¼-cup measure, add about ¼ cup carrot batter for each fritter, pressing lightly with a spatula to ¼-inch thickness. Cook, turning once, until browned and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add more olive oil between batches if the pan is dry. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
While the carrot fritters cook, make the soup.

5

Cook the soup

Prep and cook instructions are identical for both fish options.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; cut the fish into 2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a medium [large] sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the leek, celery, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the cannellini beans and 4 cups [8 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the greens and fish and cook until the greens are wilted and the fish is opaque and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the soup to individual bowls and drizzle with the lemon-herb oil. Serve the carrot fritters on the side.
