Chilled Lettuce Buttermilk Soup image

Evidently, lettuce soup is a old time American favorite. I had three bunches of lettuce from the CSA one week and came up with this recipe by combining a variety of recipes I found online. It's actually pretty tasty, a refreshing dish on a hot summer day!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
1 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 head lettuce, rinsed and dried and chopped into thin strips (I used romaine)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups fat free half-and-half
1 cup sweet peas, pureed
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped fresh dill (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Pour buttermilk and half-and-half into large bowl or saucepan.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add onion, increase heat to medium-high and sauté until softened.
  • Add garlic, stirring, and then lettuce strips. Sauté for about three minutes, stirring occasionally, until lettuce is wilted.
  • Stir lettuce strips, parsley, dill and pea puree into buttermilk mixture, then blend with an immersion blender.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill at least three hours or overnight.
  • To serve, ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with dill.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out way too salty. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lettuce. I always have a head of lettuce in my fridge, so this soup is a lifesaver.
