Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butterhead), roughly chopped
• 1 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the roughly chopped lettuce and diced potato to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth.

Step 8

Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Reheat the soup gently over low heat, being careful not to let it boil.
