Fillet and skin the smoked trout. Add 1.5 liters of water to the bones, trimmings and skins and cook with onions, carrots, celery and bay leaf for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the carefully boned trout fillets into small cubes. Strain the soup and put it back in a pot with the white wine and the diced potatoes. Once the potatoes are cooked until soft, remove about half of the cubes with a slotted spoon. Set aside. Mix the flour in a cup with a little water, stir it into the soup and let it boil. Stir the sweet cream (or crème fraîche) into the soup, then blend the soup. Add the diced trout fillets and the removed diced potatoes to the soup as a garnish. (If necessary, heat again briefly.) Season to taste with salt, pepper and grated lemon peel and serve in warmed plates.
