Ingredients
- 1 small lettuce
- 1.2 litres vegetable stock
- 1 leek
- 150ml cream
Method
- Trim the lettuce and leek (you can eat the green part of the leek, just cut the very ends off), and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Put them into a large saucepan with the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little, then transfer to the bowl of a food processor or liquidiser and process until very smooth.
- Pour the soup back into the saucepan and stir in the cream. Reheat gently to serve.
