Creamy Lettuce Soup in Vitamix
This creamy lettuce soup is warm, silky, and surprisingly rich, made with fresh lettuce, sweet potato, and onion blended with cream into a velvety smooth bowl of goodness. The sweet potato adds body and a gentle sweetness that balances the fresh, clean lettuce flavor beautifully. Made in a Vitamix for an ultra-smooth finish and ready in about 30 minutes. Wonderfully comforting for any time of year. Also try my Fresh Creamy Lettuce Soup, Clear Vegetable Soup, or Stir Fry Lettuce.
