PEA AND LETTUCE SOUP
This is a french recipe my mum copied from a library cook book. I make it a bit differently to the original recipe and have included the changes that I have made in brackets. Please let me know if it is confusing. Everone (so far!) loves my adaptation, it has a great flavour and is just so smooth and creamy. We usually eat this with baked vegetables and buttered green beans mixed with chopped fresh tomato. I hope you like this as much as we all do! Cooking time is only approximate as I haven't taken note of this and is for my adapted version.

CHILLED PEA, LETTUCE AND HERB SOUP
This elegant soup is sweet and heavenly. The texture is silky and the consistency thick -- but only because there are lots of peas in it. I used water rather than stock when I tested this recipe, and it worked just fine.

TWO COURSES IN ONE: DELICATE PEA AND LETTUCE SOUP
From blue-kitchen.com
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium flame. Add the leek and cook, stirring frequently, until it is soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Don’t let it brown—reduce heat, if needed. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add lettuce and cook, stirring frequently, until it wilts, another 7 minutes.
- Add peas, stock, 1 cup of water, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, until peas are soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about 1/2 cup of the peas to a small bowl and reserve (honestly, this was probably the most painstaking part of cooking this soup).
- Stir in the tarragon and cream. Purée the soup until smooth, using a blender and working in batches. (Clark says you can also use an immersion blender, but that didn’t get it as smooth as we wanted it to be—use a blender.) Then return it to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
- If you’re making the ricotta topping, fold together the ricotta, the lemon zest and a little salt in a medium bowl; we found this took some serious stirring to soften the ricotta.
