Hoping to use this recipe the next time I saw Boston Bibb at the market, I was at the store today and saw a box of Spring Mix near it's expiration date and at a reduced price. Not really in the mood to make entree salads for dinner tonight, I decided to make this soup. The different greens in the Spring Mix gave the soup many layers of flavor with one spoonful sweet and the next slightly (but pleasantly bitter. Love it and think this would work with any salad green.

We looked for options on what to do with extra two heads of lettuce that were starting to wilt. I didn’t know what to expect but this soup was ridiculously delicious — a ton of flavor and a great texture. One of my favorite dishes of the year so far. Well done Emeril!

We modified the recipe by replacing the chicken stock and heavy cream with vegetable bouillon and soy creamer. We used scallions instead of chives. And didn’t add the salt or oil. You can check out my rendition on my website (linked on my profile; click my name to see it.

I was pleasantly surprised. Never heard of lettuce soup; I had lettuce I needed to use and saw this recipe. It was delicious and will make it again.

Emeril, this is my 3rd 5-Star, winner recipe from you! You are becoming my go-to
guy (tried your Vegetarian Chili and also your "Cocoa Tinged Beef Stew with Root Vegetables....I recommend both those too!
Anyway...I'd have NEVER thought to put one of my favorite lettuces, Boston, in a soup! This is an easy recipe that comes off like a fancy, elegant soup from one of your favorite high-end restaurants. And good for you too! I'd imagine this could be enjoyed chilled as well.
I have to watch my cholesterol, and am not usually a fan of cream soups, so I used the evaporated milk... tastes great and gave it a light creamy consistency, which I prefer, instead of the heavier one (if you like thicker creamy soups and don't have to worry about the fat..use the cream or myabe a light cream..but the evaporated milk did work and taste great.
LOVE THIS..And in winter soup is one of my favorite staples...I'll be making this
again and again...and entertaining with it too!.

This recipe was awesome. I had a bunch of romaine left over and was able to put it to good use with this recipe. I substituted romaine for boston lettuce, majoram and basil for tarragon, some thyme for chives (obviously the flavors are totally different, you could always add in more onion if you are out though, and put in extra pepper for my taste. I also blended the whole thing until the lettuce was in little pieces. I added in 3/4 cup of heavy cream because I didn't think 1/2 cup was enough. Once I tasted it I knew I wanted some potato chunks in my soup. I boiled them until they were soft in the soup liquid. It was completely delicious. I have tried to make a creamy soup before and never succeeded. This was perfect. Yum. Thanks Emeril. I am so glad I never have to waste unused lettuce again.

This is probably the best soup we have ever had. The recipe is true to form. It's easy to make and has a fine restaurant quality. Thank you Emeril!!

Wow, that is really delicious. I was a bit skeptical, at first, because lettuce does not have much flavor. But, the herbs really make it pop. I must admit, I was a bit heavy-handed with the herbs. I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks, Emeril!
