Lettuce Soup
Serves 2
Ingredients
30 g (2 tbsp) butter or EVOO
225 g (~ 2 cups) 1/4-inch-diced onion or shallot
4 large garlic cloves, 1/8-inch-dice
450 g (2 cups) water + 1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian Broth Base
225 g lettuce, roughly chopped
Kosher salt, as needed
Note: Feel free to substitute any sort of broth for the water and broth base.
Directions
Add oil or butter to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots or onions and sweat until translucent. Add garlic, and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add water and broth base and increase heat to high, stirring to dissolve the broth base. Once at a boil, add the lettuce and boil for a minute or two to wilt completely. Transfer to a blender and blend on high until pureed. Taste for salt. Pour into two bowls. Garnish with parsley and a few dots of really good EVOO.
