Lamb Chops with White Beans and Gremolata

Onion and Fennel Bisque
Teri Carpenter of Albuquerque, New Mexico, writes: "On a trip to British Columbia, we dined at Blue Heron Inn, on Porpoise Bay, in Sechelt. They served a fabulous onion and fennel bisque. Could you get the chef to share the recipe with Gourmet?"
This bisque is so lush that demitasse cups make an ideal serving size.
