Hi, Do you want to come in? I’m going to make us some soup. It will be delicious. Oh, what kind of soup you ask? LOCKS DOOR, REALLY QUICK Lettuce soup.
Creamy Lettuce Soup Recipe
Wait, what, lettuce soup? That is how I feel everytime I bring up lettuce soup. Most people are frightened of it, the idea of lettuce pureed into a creamy soup doesn’t sound that appetizing to most. And I will be honest, when I first heard about it I was like eh? When I told Matthew I was making lettuce soup for dinner, first he asked “Is that is?”, then after he smelled what was going on in the pot he asked “What is that great smell?”. Not only is it a truly pretty soup (the lettuce + the cream makes it a lovely light green), but it’s full of taste. Not only are we adding lettuce, but we’re adding broth and lots of spices. So next time you have a head of lettuce and you’re not sure what to do, make this lettuce soup!
How to Make Lettuce Soup
This is when your lettuce starts to wilt, the smell of it with the spices will be real good. Just keep stirring it until completed wilted. This is your soup pureed in a blender. Be careful when using a blender, hot liquids will shoot up, so do it in batches with smaller amounts. I learned the hard way with some tomato soup one summer, had to wear a bandage for weeks! And when it’s all done, you’ll be surprised by how creamy it is, it’s a true cream of lettuce soup! I like to add some additional cream on top because who doesn’t like more cream? Serve alongside crunchy Asian noodles or crusty Italian bread! Hope you enjoy this lettuce soup! PS. Check out my post on how to make lettuce last for a month! Pin for later:
