Looking for some new recipes I found this. I started with browning a few pieces of turkey bacon in a dutch oven. Took that out and reserved for another recipe. Added the butter, an onion, and spring garlic from the CSA. Next were half a head of lettuce (red) and a bunch of dandelion greens from the CSA along with parsnips instead of potatoes. I used some fresh thyme (didn't have any coriander) and grated some nutmeg over the top when it simmered. Yumm! Thanks for posting this recipe. Yes I modified it, but I never would have known where to start without it.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877675796360192400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-72125378444257014382008-05-31T14:02:00.000-05:002008-05-31T14:02:00.000-05:00No, don't eat rotten greens.

It's past using for a salad and is on the verge of rotting or being thrown away, as is. And lots of time there may be one section that's too far gone but the rest of it goes to waste unless there's something to do with it, like, well, lettuce soup. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-39124186512813565672008-05-30T18:25:00.000-05:002008-05-30T18:25:00.000-05:00do you mean wilted because it's cooked or because ...do you mean wilted because it's cooked or because it's decomposed? so are decomposed greens worth eating? is it safe to eat roting food?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-61107770876189771112008-05-29T17:51:00.000-05:002008-05-29T17:51:00.000-05:00Hi Annie ~ You so completely made my day, thank yo...Hi Annie ~ You so completely made my day, thank you! I bet yours is record turn-around for ANY recipe :-) let alone one that sounds as weird as 'lettuce soup'. <BR/><BR/>But it's that kind of recipe, soooo fitting just the moment you found yourself in, with wilting lettuce that otherwise would be thrown into the garbage! <BR/><BR/>Love it, love it!Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-74336356631137870112008-05-29T17:14:00.000-05:002008-05-29T17:14:00.000-05:00I wanted to let you know that I saw this recipe an...I wanted to let you know that I saw this recipe and immediately made it because I had so much lettuce in the fridge starting to wilt. It's a lovely soup--I pureed about half of it for a nice mix of thickness and texture. I used russet potatoes and they worked just fine.

I use the end bits of lettuce in stir fry dishes, sometimes with black bean sauce, other times with oyster sauce. And always with my favorite chili paste with garlic!Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-23575946324967977162008-05-29T07:55:00.000-05:002008-05-29T07:55:00.000-05:00This really looks good - the name didn't sound so ...This really looks good - the name didn't sound so good, but yeah, it looks good now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
