I also like this because I am really not a big fan of lettuce and at times it goes wilty in the fridge. So I have another use for it.

Little oil for cooking

1 small onion, chopped

2-3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 teas. butter (optional)

1 large head romaine or leaf lettuce chopped

1 cup fresh or frozen peas

2 c low-sodium chicken stock

1/2 t. sugar

1/4 c. no/low fat sour cream (optional) but tasty

2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped (optional)

In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and butter, and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onions are soft. Add lettuce and stir until it wilts. Add the stock, peas, and sugar, and bring the soup to a simmer. Cook it for 15 minutes, then remove it from the heat and add sour cream and mint. Puree the soup until smooth using a hand blender or a regular blender (my choice). Serve hot, or cool completely, then chill and serve cold.

It would be great served with grilled or poached fish. To make it a bit more fancier - put finished soup through a sieve, fish in the centre and garnished with fresh mint. Great spa meal!

Is it wrong to have a glass of white wine with this recipe during my cleansing time?

Cheers, I mean bye for now,

Karen
