Cream Of Lettuce Soup From My Great Recipes

Here is a soup that is elegant, easy to make and tastes terrific. however, do not cook it longer than 3 minutes as the ingredients do not require longer cooking and it will lose color and flavor. the soup is equally delicious served hot in winter or served cold on a hot summer's day.

Add onion and leek.
Saute for 5 minutes without letting them brown.

Return to saucepan and reheat to serve or serve well chilled with a dollop of sour cream , if you wish.
