Trout Soup is a simple fish soup and one of the first fishing dishes most farms can get. The Queen of Sauce teaches it in the first Fall, and Willy's Fish Shop sells the finished soup as well. It gives a small Fishing buff, which helps most in the early game when every level counts. Cooked from a Rainbow Trout and Green Algae, it sells for a little more than its ingredients. Nearly everyone in town likes it, Willy included, but Evelyn hates it.
The in-game description reads: Pretty salty.
Recipe
The Queen of Sauce teaches Trout Soup on the second Sunday of Fall in the first year. The show is the only way to learn it. If that Sunday is missed, the channel can replay the episode as a rerun on a later Wednesday.
Cooking a Rainbow Trout with Green Algae makes Trout Soup. A kitchen comes with the first farmhouse upgrade, and a Cookout Kit lets the soup be made outdoors too.
Rainbow Trout is a Summer fish. It bites in the river through Pelican Town and Cindersap Forest and in the mountain lake, on sunny days from morning until early evening. The recipe airs in Fall, after the trout season has ended. A few trout kept in a chest from Summer let the first bowls be cooked straight away. Otherwise the next Summer brings fresh fish. Magic Bait lifts the season and weather limits and catches trout at any time.
The Trout Derby in Summer is a good chance to stock up. During the festival, trout bite in Cindersap Forest all day and in any weather.
Green Algae is easy. It is a common catch in freshwater all year, and some monsters in The Mines drop it too. Most fishing trips bring some home without trying.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Trout Soup restores a fair amount of energy and health. Its buff raises Fishing by one level for a few minutes.
A Fishing buff works as extra Fishing levels while it lasts. Each level makes the green bar in the fishing minigame a little wider, which makes hard fish easier to land. One level matters most at the start, when the bar is small.
Trout Soup gives the smallest Fishing buff, the same as Chowder. Fish Taco gives two levels, and Dish O' The Sea, Fish Stew and Lobster Bisque give three. Trout Soup's strength is that it is cheap and easy to get early on.
Only one food buff can be active at a time. Eating another dish with a buff replaces the Fishing bonus. Drinks use their own slot, so a Coffee can run alongside the soup.
Prices
Trout Soup sells for a little more than a Rainbow Trout and a Green Algae sold raw. With the Fisher profession, cooking still comes out slightly ahead. The Angler profession raises the value of raw fish enough that the trout and algae together are worth more than the soup.
Willy sells Trout Soup at the Fish Shop for more than twice its sale value. Buying it makes sense only for the buff, before the recipe airs.
Gifts
Most of the valley likes Trout Soup. Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, George, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard like it.
Evelyn hates it. She also hates nearly all raw fish.
Notes
The Queen of Sauce introduces the soup by praising fresh-caught trout and the subtle taste of the river.
In tailoring, Trout Soup in the Sewing Machine makes the Ranger Uniform. At the dye pots in Emily and Haley's house, Trout Soup counts as an orange dye.
Krobus sometimes sells Trout Soup on Saturdays. It can also show up in the Stardrop Saloon's rotating stock and at the Traveling Cart. Now and then a bowl sits in the Garbage Can outside the Saloon, and Mystery Boxes can hold one too.
