Italian Lettuce Soup

Recipe By : Sainsbury's Website
Serving Size : 4
Categories : Sainsbury's

2 round lettuces, separated into leaves
1 large crisp lettuce, separated into leaves
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
a handful of mixed fresh herbs, chopped finely
6 thin slices coarse, crusty bread, -- such as ciabatta, toasted lightly
salt and pepper

Blanch all the lettuce leaves together in lightly salted boiling water for
about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving the water. Tip the lettuce leaves into a
colander and leave to drain. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan
and fry the onion and herbs together for about 6 minutes. Chop the drained
lettuce leaves and add to the fried onion and herbs. Stir carefully, then
add the reserved water. Stir, then bring to the boil, reduce the heat and
simmer for about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the
bread in a large, wide, warmed serving bowl and pour the soup over the
bread. Serve at once.
