Ingredients

  • 5 slices bacon, finely diced, plus crisp crumbles bacon, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup diced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups finely sliced iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup instant flour
  • 3 1/2 cups fresh or canned chicken broth, heated to a simmer
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

In a 3-quart pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly browned. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the lettuce and saute for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour into the pot, then stir it in until well blended. Remove the pot from the heat and add the hot chicken broth, tomatoes, nutmeg and pepper. Heat the soup to boiling, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the cream and mix well.

Mix together the mayonnaise and sour cream. Serve each portion of soup with a dollop of mayonnaise mixture topped with crumbled bacon.

    My husband made this yesterday and he doesn't need to make it again. To me the turn offs were the onions and chicken broth. We will go back to the old version with no onions and using tomato juice for the broth. We will try it though with the lettuce instead of using Kale or spinach though.

    I've had this recipe in my files since 2008 but hadn't made it until now -- 2012, partly because of the idea of adding lettuce to a hot soup and expecting it to be slimy. I was pleased that the lettuce ribs retained a lot of their crispness, which was a nice contract to the creamy soup and chewy bacon pieces. The soup had an almost cheesy consistency, despite the absence of cheese. I can't say that the soup was outstanding, but it was tasty and filling. Unlike other reviewers, I wouldn't add any salt, but a little black pepper at the end -- or in my bowl -- would have been nice. The mayo/sour cream topping was just right.
