Lettuce soup is a light, refreshing dish often enjoyed in European and Asian cuisines. Made primarily with fresh lettuce, onion, garlic, and occasionally potato for added creaminess, this soup is typically blended for a smooth texture. Some recipes incorporate chicken or vegetable stock to enhance its flavor, while a drizzle of cream is an optional addition for richness. Lettuce soup is low in calories and packed with essential nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin A, and folate, thanks to the leafy greens. Its high water content and fiber make it a hydrating and digestion-friendly choice. For a healthier option, cream can be replaced with a splash of milk or simply omitted. While generally low in fat and sodium, these values can vary based on the recipe, so it’s best to prepare it at home to control added ingredients. A versatile option, lettuce soup can be served hot or chilled.
