Lettuce soup is a fantastic way to use up lettuce – or any other salad leaves – that might otherwise be wasted. Lovely served hot and equally good chilled for a light summery meal.
Ingredient:
- 2 tbsp oil (any cooking oil will do)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 250g/9oz lettuce leaves, trimmed, washed and thickly sliced
- 400g/14oz potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 2cm/¾in chunks
- 800ml/1⅓ pint chicken or vegetable stock, made with 1 stock cube
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- To serve (optional)
- 2–3 tbsp single or double cream
- freshly chopped chives, parsley or dill
