Lettuce that has gone limp can still be put to use, and it is magically transformed in this rich, sophisticated soup.
Ingredients:
- 1 small lettuce - around 150g
- 1.2 litres vegetable stock
- 1 leek
- 150ml single cream
Recipe:
1. Trim the lettuce and leek, and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Put them into a large saucepan with the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
2. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little, then transfer to the bowl of a food processor or liquidiser and process until very smooth.
3. Pour the soup back into the saucepan and stir in the cream. Reheat gently to serve.
