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!

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.

I'm not usually a fan of lettuce soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of romaine lettuce, bacon, and croutons was perfect. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the croutons added a nice crunch.
