LETTUCE SOUP



Lettuce Soup image

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!

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic - minced
1 head lettuce (12-16 oz head, leaves separated and lightly chopped. Any lettuce works, but Bibb is best.)

1/2 cup heavy cream + additional to garnish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil on medium heat in medium sized pot.

  • Add your lettuce, parsley and oregano and stir until lettuce is wilted.
  • Add your chicken broth and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

  • Serve, garnish with additional heavy cream on top if desired.

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.
