Lettuce Soup Recipe - Cooking Index
Lettuce may seem like an unusual ingredient for soup, but it is delicious with or without the cheese. It's not too different from the Italian classic escarole soup.
Courses: Soup2 teaspoons | 10ml | Unsalted stick margarine |
2 | Celery stalks - chopped | |
4 | Scallions - thinly sliced | |
6 cups | 240g / 8.5oz | Shredded green leaf lettuce |
4 cups | 948ml | Low-sodium vegetable broth |
1/4 cup | 23g / 0.8oz | Minced parsley |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Grated Parmesan cheese |
In a large nonstick saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the margarine. Add the celery and scallions; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the lettuce, broth, parsley, pepper and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring as needed, until the lettuce is wilted, about 5 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with the cheese.
