What a beautiful looking soup!! The green is absolutely gorgeous. Sadly, I never really think of having a chilled/cold soup living here in San Francisco, but I will definitely have to remember this the next time I’m visiting (and cooking for friends and/or family) in Southern California.

it’s really not as scary as you think – imagine it’s spinach or kale or other leafy things most people don’t mind wilted!

You know, I have yet to try a cold soup. I don’t know what my problem is … this looks great. I have no qualms about cooking lettuce; we actually use it frequently in Greek cooking (i.e. Fricasse) and I think this soup looks delicious. Love the swirls of sour cream!

Very interesting! I’m loving the pictures… I never would have tried this–not a huge fan of cooked lettuce. But the fact that the soup is served cold may have convinced me…

ok, heading there right now… lettuce-brown butter sauce. hells yeah! i think that lettuce is totally underused as ingredient in anything else but salads! thanks for the support on the lettuce soup. sometimes we don’t think things are that k-razy of recipes and then we post it and it’s like “crickets” in the comment section. i would prefer people tell us it looks like barf and they’d never ever try it instead of saying nothing! we’ve got thick skin… come on, bring it!

it keeps the color really fresh – it doesn’t really add any flavor. i think people may be turned off by the idea of pureeing lettuce but most wouldn’t think twice of doing it to spinach or kale. kinda interesting!

Sounds so refreshing! I’m actually a huge fan of cooked lettuce, braised, boiled, fried, roasted. But I can’t say I’ve ever thought of blanching and pureeing.

And i raise my glass to you both for cooking with lettuce! I haven’t made a lettuce soup in a while but i know they can be delicious. I could go for some right now. It’s a coincidence but one of my friend made a veal with a lettuce-brown butter sauce a few days ago which i just posted today. It was fantastic.
