This is a recipe that requires a lot of fresh ingredients so a trip to the produce store was needed before I could start this one. Since I did not think my son was going to like it I decided to make a half recipe which influenced what ingredients I was going to buy. To start I needed two heads of lettuce; romaine and Boston or Butter. I cut the heads in half figuring I would use the leftovers for salads during the week. For the base of the soup I needed scallions, shallots, onion, celery and garlic. I chose to omit the celery as I only needed half of a stalk. Then there are the herbs which are many; parsley, thyme, and mint. I eliminated them all because the recipe only required one sprig here and there and I would not need the leftovers for any other recipe this week, I did add some tried thyme though. After all the ingredients are cooked, I blitz it in my blender for a smooth texture. This recipe did not win us over, we prefer asparagus soup to this one. It was fun to try a new recipe but this one will not be a repeat for us. To see what others thought head over to Cook the Book Fridays.
