Lettuce?

[betpchem]

Hi everyone,

I belong to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which means I get a box of vegetables every week. I have a ton of lettuce right now. I'm tired of salads and I already made lettuce soup. What do I do next? Any ideas? Thanks!

What kind of lettuce?  I have friends who make lettuce wraps and tacos.  Green smoothies are also an option - never made one, wouldn't want one, but again, some people love them.

Smoothies are not a bad idea. It would be a good way to use a lot at once. I'll have to concoct something. Thanks for the idea!

Hey, @betpchem! It is nice to see you around. :} How do you make the lettuce soup? I would never imagine you could do this! Please share the recipe and what kind of lettuce do you use?

Here's the recipe:

It came out kind of like pea soup - that same kind of thickness. It wasn't bad.

I don't know what kind of lettuce. It wasn't iceberg or butter, I know those. This was just green and leafy, not on a head like iceberg. I think any lettuce would work.

Let me know if you try it, @SolangeE and what you think.

Hey, @betpchem! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe with me!  Ok, I'll go hunt some lettuce at the market this weekend and try it out! I hope it comes out delicious. 

I'll definitely share pictures and comments with you!
