LETTUCE SOUP
Creamy Lettuce Soup is a delicious, healthy recipe that uses 1 head of lettuce. Combined with heavy cream, chicken broth and spices, this is a great way to add lettuce to your diet! I love using Bibb lettuce in this recipe but Romaine and Iceberg work good too! Who knew cooked lettuce could taste so yummy for dinner - even kids love it!

LETTUCE SOUP
An easy Lettuce Soup recipe. This soup is a great way to use lettuce's outer leaves and ribs, which usually go to waste. Any kind of potato and any salad greens, including lettuce, arugula, spinach, and watercress, will work fine.

I had an overabundance of romaine lettuce so I looked up some ideas online. I found a delicious recipe for Romaine Lettuce soup and added a few tweaks. I would have never thought of using lettuce for a soup!

- Wash and spin lettuce and set aside.

- Remove from heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into the soup. Put the tofu into the soup and mix completely with an immersion blender.
- Eat hot or cold.

Adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and chive blossoms, if desired.
VEGAN CREAM OF ROMAINE LETTUCE SOUP?! WITH GARLIC MUSHROOMS AND
very odd recipe I came up with when I needed to use a head of romaine lettuce, and wanted something warm. The cinnamon and nutmeg give it a comforting sweet-ish taste. Enjoy if you dare to be adventurous! For more "creamier" use more flour, or replace some water with soymilk
