Hot or Cold Creamy Lettuce Soup

• 份量: 4 servings
• 准备时间: 10 minutes
• 总时间: 25 minutes

配料

2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter

1 medium onion (about 8 ounces; 225g), diced (see note)

4 medium cloves garlic, sliced

2 cups (475ml) homemade chicken or vegetable stock, or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed

8 ounces (225g) lettuce, core and root ends trimmed, leaves torn if large (see note)

1/4 cup (1 small handful) loosely packed parsley leaves

Kosher salt

Fresh lemon juice, to taste

Thinly sliced radish and pea shoots, tossed in extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish (see note)

步骤

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until foamy. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add stock, bring to a simmer, and cook until vegetables are very tender, about 8 minutes. Add lettuce and parsley and cook until wilted and softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Working in batches if necessary, transfer broth and vegetables to a blender and blend, starting at the lowest speed and increasing to high, until very smooth, about 3 minutes. If soup is too thick, thin as needed with additional stock. Season with salt and just a touch of lemon juice to brighten flavor (add it very sparingly to prevent soup from becoming tart). Garnish with radish and pea shoots (or other garnish) and serve warm or chilled.
