Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 This isn't my recipe but I have made lettuce soup years ago and have no idea where my recipe is. I loved it. not a heavy soup, kind of like asparagus or watescress soup. Donna The seed is in bloom, will it meet an early doom or survive in a tranquil sea? Does it face an early end, will it find a real friend, should it be called humanity? Will creation of man bring death by his hand or will life be his destiny?

Put the lettuce in a pot with 2 cups of broth or water. Add the salt, sugar (if using) and onion. Cook slowly for 20 minutes. Heat the milk in a double boiler. Blend the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water and then pour into the hot milk. Cook until it thickens slightly. Add the lettuce and butter > and serve. This soup may sound strange, but it really is very good! You may want to add your own seasonings to your taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
