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!

ROMAINE LETTUCE SOUP



Romaine Lettuce Soup image

Romaine lettuce tends to come in three-packs and can be hard to use up in a small household. Here's a delicious way to use much of it very quickly. You will be surprised how good lettuce soup is!

Provided by Heidi Hoerman

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium new potato, cut into 1/4 inch dice
2 heads romaine lettuce, sliced, hard end discarded
5 c chicken broth
1/4 c chopped fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 slice deli ham, minced
1/4 c julienned (not grated) parmesan

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy soup pan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • 2. Saute the onion and potato in the butter until the onion browns slightly and the potato starts to stick. Use a 1/4 cup of the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, loosening any browned potato from the bottom of the pan.
  • 3. Add the sliced lettuce, stir, and cover to steam briefly. Stir every minute or so and continue until the lettuce has thoroughly wilted.
  • 4. Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • 5. Turn off the heat, add the fresh basil and process with an immersion blender. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
  • 6. Add the ham and cheese and stir very briefly. Try not to stir so much that the cheese disappears.
  • 7. Serve warm or freeze for later reheating.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of olive oil and butter to sauté the onion and garlic.
  • To make the soup extra creamy, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have any white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the soup the best flavor.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, simply prepare it up to the point of adding the cream and cheese. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through, then stir in the cream and cheese.

Conclusion:

Creamy romaine lettuce soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up any leftover romaine lettuce. With its creamy texture and delicate flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
