This vibrant lettuce soup is a wonderful way to transform leafy greens into a silky, comforting meal. While lettuce is often reserved for salads, it develops a delicate, sweet flavour when simmered with aromatic coriander and softened onions. The addition of potato provides a natural creaminess and body without the need for heavy dairy, making this a sophisticated yet light vegetarian starter or a refreshing midweek lunch for those seeking something nutritious.
Quick to prepare and thrifty to make, this recipe is particularly useful for using up slightly wilted garden gluts or shop-bought gems. For the best results, use a mix of spring onions and shallots to enhance the savoury base, and serve with a crusty piece of sourdough or a swirl of soured cream for an elegant finish.

How to make Lettuce Soup
