Soup with Lots of Lettuce

I received a lot of lettuce, so this is one way I'm trying to use it up.

Cut the lettuce into large pieces. After adding the lettuce to the pan, work quickly.
If you cut the lettuce too small, or simmer it for too long, you'll lose the crispy texture. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by Nanagukun

Ingredients

5 servings
  1. 1 largehead Lettuce
  2. 3 sliceBacon
  3. 1/4Onion
  4. 4to 5 tablespoons Whole corn (frozen or canned)
  5. 2Soup stock cubes
  6. 1/2 tbspOlive oil
  7. 1Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Shred or cut the lettuce into large pieces, then rinse and drain. If the corn is frozen, defrost by boiling.

  2. 2

    Finely chop or thinly slice the onion. Cut the bacon into 5 mm strips.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a pan, add the onion and bacon and sauté slowly over low heat until the onion is wilted.

  4. 4

    Add 800 ml of water and the soup stock cube to the pan. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat.

  5. 5

    When it's cooked through and is bubbling, add all the lettuce at once. Right after it's added, it looks like this.

  6. 6

    Stir with a ladle - the lettuce will shrink down in no time. Bring back to a boil, taste quickly, and add salt and pepper if needed.

  7. 7

    Top with the corn (optional). Done.
