LETTUCE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. When hot add the onions and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley, chives, tarragon and lettuce and stir until the lettuce is completely wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. When ready to serve, process the soup, in batches, taking care since the soup is hot, then return to a clean saucepan. Stir in the heavy cream or evaporated milk and the salt and pepper and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until heated through. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and chive blossoms, if desired.

LETTUCE SOUP

Steps:

• Cook onion mixture and garlic in 2 tablespoons butter in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add coriander, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in potato, lettuce, and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potato is very tender, about 10 minutes.
• Purée soup in batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids) and transfer to a 2- to 3-quart saucepan. Bring soup to a simmer, then whisk in remaining tablespoon butter and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• For the stock cover the bones with 12 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the seasonings and boil gently for three hours, then drain. It will yield about eight cups. If necessary, reduce further, to get the eight cups, or add water enough to attain the proper amount.
• For the soup, heat the butter in a stockpot. When hot, add the onions and leeks and saute for two minutes. Add the stock, potatoes and salt. Bring to a boil and boil gently, partially covered, for 45 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid, and process the solids in a food processor until very smooth. Combine with the reserved liquid. (Note: If the liquids and solids are processed together, the mixture tends to be too foamy.)
• For the garnish, separate the lettuce into leaves and wash them thoroughly. Pile the leaves together and cut into thin strips (chiffonnade). Melt the butter in a stainless-steel saucepan and add the lettuce. Cook for one to two minutes, until wilted.
• Combine the garnish with the soup at serving time. Serve hot or cold.

CREAM OF LETTUCE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onions and garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until the onions are lightly browned.
• Add the water with bouillon cube and 8 cups of the lettuce, reserving the rest. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the herbs and remove from the heat.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the solid ingredients to a food processor along with the tofu, and puree, in batches, if necessary, until smooth. Or add the tofu to the soup pot, insert an immersion blender, and puree until smooth.
• Return to the soup pot or to a serving container. Stir in enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This soup needs a good amount of each to bring up the flavor, so be generous yet judicious.
• Cut the reserved lettuce into fine shreds and stir in. Allow to cool to room temperature. Serve at room temperature or chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
