Instructions

  1. Sauté garlic with ground pepper, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds.
  2. Add scallions, half a serrano chile, and a few strips of lemon zest.
  3. Once the scallions are softened and slightly charred, add six cups of water to create a broth.
  4. Add leeks, snap peas, and cannellini beans to the broth.
  5. Simmer the vegetables until just tender.
  6. Add baby spinach and English peas along with a tablespoon of white miso.

My notes

The vegetables shrink as they cook, but the recipe maintains a high broth to mix-ins ratio. Topping with chopped fennel fronds is recommended for maximum spring vibes.
