Sylvie’s Chilled Romaine Soup
I was inspired to create this delicious, delicate soup by a chilled lettuce soup I enjoyed while visiting New York.
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tbsp Pesto Sauce Mix
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 - 2 tsp honey, to taste – optional
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- sour cream or crème fraîche for garnish
Preparation
- In a blender, working in batches, purée first 6 ingredients, adding a little water as necessary, to achieve the consistency of vichyssoise. Season to taste with Salt and Pepper.
- Strain soup through a medium sieve into a bowl and chill until ready to serve.
- To serve, ladle into verrines or small bowls. Garnish with sour cream, or crème fraîche, if desired!
