2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 2 cups milk 2 cups water 1 head of lettuce 2 slices of onion 3 tablespoons cold water
Wash and chop the lettuce
fine. Put the lettuce in a pot with 2 cups of water.
Add the salt, sugar
and onion. Cook slowly for 20 minutes. Heat the milk in a double
boiler.
Blend the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water and
then
pour into the hot milk. Cook until it thickens slightly. Add the
lettuce and butter
and serve. This soup may sound strange, but
it really is very good! You may want to
add your own seasonings to
your taste. It is bland cooked this way.
