Salad Soup

Ingredients

• 2 heads of lettuce
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp butter

• 200 g heavy cream
• Salt
• Pepper (freshly ground)

1. 1.

   Wash the salad and cut into leaves. Blanch the leaves in plenty of salted water for 3 minutes, shock with cold water, drain well, and slice into thin strips. Peel the onion. Heat butter in a pot, finely chop the onion and sauté until translucent, sprinkle flour, cook briefly to lighten color, then stir in broth and cream, simmering while stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.

   Set aside 4 tbsp of salad strips, add the rest to the soup and blend everything. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice; let simmer for 5 minutes. Ladle the soup onto plates and garnish with the remaining salad strips.
