How To Make romaine lettuce soup
-
1In a heavy soup pan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
2Saute the onion and potato in the butter until the onion browns slightly and the potato starts to stick. Use a 1/4 cup of the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, loosening any browned potato from the bottom of the pan.
-
3Add the sliced lettuce, stir, and cover to steam briefly. Stir every minute or so and continue until the lettuce has thoroughly wilted.
-
4Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 5 minutes.
-
5Turn off the heat, add the fresh basil and process with an immersion blender. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
-
6Add the ham and cheese and stir very briefly. Try not to stir so much that the cheese disappears.
-
7Serve warm or freeze for later reheating.
