Background
At the end of the day at my local market they were almost giving away lovely lettuces. Having eaten enough salads recently to grow ears like Bugs Bunny, I thought I'd give this Lettuce and Pea Soup a go. It turned out to be remarkably satisfying, tasty and healthy!
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 400g lettuce
- 450g frozen peas
- 1Β½ litre vegetable stock
- Handful fresh mint leaves
- Β½ tsp sugar
- Seasoning
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Peal and slice the onions and garlic, then stir for a couple of minutes in the oil to soften.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop up the lettuce and wash thoroughly before adding to the pan.
- When the lettuce has wilted a bit, add the other ingredients and season to taste.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve with fresh, chunky bread.
Tips
Try serving it with a dollop of yoghurt.© 2024 Copyright CookTogether
