Steps:
- Put butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; when it melts, add onion and sweat for about 2 minutes or until it begins to soften; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add all but a couple of handfuls of the lettuce to the pan, reserving the rest for garnish, and cook until it wilts. Add stock, turn the heat to medium-high and bring liquid to a boil; lower heat to medium and cook until lettuce is very soft, about 5 minutes.
- Put cooked lettuce in a blender and add 2 cups of ice water. Purée mixture until smooth, then put in a large bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Once soup is chilled, add cream or half-and-half to taste and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Finely chop reserved lettuce and put about 1/4 cup in each bowl and ladle soup on top. Garnish with croutons or bacon.

LETTUCE SOUP
An easy Lettuce Soup recipe. This soup is a great way to use lettuce's outer leaves and ribs, which usually go to waste. Any kind of potato and any salad greens, including lettuce, arugula, spinach, and watercress, will work fine.

LETTUCE SOUP WITH CUCUMBER CROUTONS
Soup is the most versatile of dishes. When it is rough-chunked, thick and hearty, it is a homey supper; when it is smooth and delicate like the lettuce soup here, it is the perfect elegant starter. It also happens to be a wonderful way of using up any stray lettuces in your fridge. You do not want to use anything that is unpalatable, but I often start the week planning to eat a lot of salad and then end it having not lived up to my intentions. This recipe is the perfect way of atoning for that. This time of year I especially prefer this soup chilled, which makes life much easier because you can cook it in advance. If cold soup is not your thing, do not panic; it is just as good served at room temperature. Either way, this soup is taken up a few notches by being studded, by some cucumber croutons: small, jade cubes cut like toasted-bread dice, only so much more elegant.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan, and add scallions. Sauté until softened. Add potatoes to pan, stir well, then add stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 minutes.
- Add the lettuce to the pan, and stir until it is wilted. Remove from heat, and allow it to cool until no longer steaming. Using a blender and, working in batches, purée soup until it is smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl, and add 1/3 cup sour cream and salt to taste. Stir until smooth, and adjust sour cream and salt as needed. If soup is to be served chilled (it may be served at room temperature), cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- To serve, ladle into bowls, and sprinkle with chives and cucumber ''croutons.''
