Ohai - why yes, I AM still drinking my meals today, thanksverymuchdumbassstomachbug. I've actually been kind of dying to try this because we get a fair bit of lettuce in our weekly share, and let's face it, I am just not a winter salad girl. Not unless by salad you mean lentil & lamb curry over steaming hot, cumin-scented rice...and if that's your idea of a winter salad, then dinner's at my place at 6:30pm, please feel free to bring wine. To say that I was skeptical of lettuce soup is putting it mildly. Turns out that soup really IS the magic bullet solution for the problem of too many veggies in the refrigerator. Even Romain. Not only is this GREAT, but it's going into regular rotation until salad season comes back. I topped this with a drizzle of walnut oil and feta because it's what I had, but it could also benefit from the crunch of some roasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts and the zing of a nice hot chili oil. Lettuce Soup adapted from about 20 different recipes 1 lg onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 3 med potatoes, scrubbed (i don't peel for pureed soups) and roughly chopped. 1- 2 qts vegetable or chicken stock 2 med heads romain lettuce, roughly chopped 1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped (I used flat-leaf) Salt Pepper Whipping cream or half n half (I'll do you a favor and not tell you how much I used, lest you not make this lovely soup. Let it suffice to say that it's more than you think you should and you can shop accordingly.) 1. Saute onion and celery in a bit of oil or butter over med-high heat until they're going translucent around the edges & softened. 2. Add garlic and continue, making sure not to let it brown or it might go all bitter and gross. 3. Add potatoes, aprox 1 1/2 qts stock, and seasonings, then bring to a low boil and simmer about 10 mins, stirring occasionally. 4. Stir in lettuce. It will seem like too much at first, but it will wilt down quickly. Bring back to the low boil and simmer another 10 mins or so, until potatoes are very tender. By then the lettce will be well wilted. 5. Puree. This soup won't win any beauty pagents, but it will disappear. Fast.
