Lettuce soup recipe

Easy lettuce soup recipe with only 6 ingredients ready available in your kitchen so you will enjoy a cheap and delicious soup in less than 30 minutes.

Makes 4 servings in 30 minutes, originally posted by The Skinny Cook, 7th December 2001 (Vegetables / Europe (Belgium) / Soup / Dinner / Stove / No marination).

Late summer and hot weather in Belgium results into lots of fresh tomatoes and lots of lettuce: ideal for your daily salad.

But before you know it, the season changes or you just can’t cope with the vast overproduce of lettuce. Meanwhile in the supermarket: lettuce is on sale like 2 for the price of 1…

Easy and cheap solution : time to create a delicious soup!

  • 16 fluid oz (1/2 l) chicken stock (you can also use instant stock or granules, main thing is that you need half a liter)
  • 1 oz (30 gr) butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
