Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup chopped scallions 16 cups chopped mild-flavored lettuce or greens 3 cups chicken broth 1/8 teaspoon white pepper Salt 6 ounces cream cheese
Directions:
In a large soup pot, melt the butter, and then saut the scallions and lettuce until the lettuce is limp--about two to four minutes. Add the chicken broth and the pepper, and simmer for five minutes. Season to taste with salt. Cool the soup slightly and pure it in a food processor or blender. Return the soup to the pot to reheat. Dice the cream cheese and add it to the soup. Heat until it's melted. Serve the soup hot with minced herbs or a flower as a garnish. | |
