LETTUCE SOUP

Save your wilting lettuce!

1 onion
1 clove garlic
4 cups chicken broth or vegetable stock
all the slightly wilted lettuce and non-bitter greens in the fridge,
coarsely chopped (6+ cups)

Garnish: cream, sherry, sprigs of parsley

Coarsely chop onion and garlic, sauté with a bit of olive oil. Add to
chicken/veggie stock in large saucepan and simmer for 40 minutes. Stir
frequently during first 5 minutes as greens wilt and reduce in volume.
Puree in food processor, season to taste. If there is red lettuce in the
mix, or red onion is used, the soup can be a very dark green. In this
case, it is nice to add a little cream and sherry to each bowl.

Thanks to Worden Farm member Sue Pollaro for this wonderful recipe
