Notes

**Types of Lettuce: there are several kinds of lettuce and although nowadays is possible to buy everything anywhere, I would suggest that you always try to use products that grow in your region. You will definitely eat healthier and you will be supporting local producers. Remember that depending of the type of lettuce you chose the soup may have slightly different taste. I generally prefer the romaine lettuce but you can also use butterheadiceberg or loose leaf one… or any other as long as it is green. Red lettuce might not be as good choice because we want this soup to be bright green.

Don’t tell us that it was difficult.  It’s probably one of the easiest soups to make in the world!. We love it not only for it’s simplicity but also because is super healthy. Luckily is healthy but the ingredientes are also super easy to find . You won’t need to run around 10 supermarkets to find that strange ingredient that without it you canno’t make the soup. Not the case. 

If you are hosting a party or some sort of celebration during summer or spring this will go perfectly as appetizer. You can prepare a big batch and serve it in little tequila shot glasses, or something bigger if you prefer. Finallly all your guest will be super happy with the choice. If that is not the case, WE DO ACCEPT reclamations. And lastly but not less important, enjoy it!

 

Thanks as always for reading our recipes and if you like it, don’t be shy and share it with everyone. In conclusion it’s a win-win situation !
