Madge's Miner's Lettuce & Salad Greens Soup

Always remember you are unique ... just like everyone else. - Anon
Back yard Miner's Lettuce & fresh Garden Salad Greens Soup! I love soups!  They are easy on the digestion & our bodies just absorb their nutrients (when cooked properly).  One of my fellow book club members brought me fresh salad greens from her garden (already! What a treat!) and outside my house there was miner's lettuce blooming everywhere.  Ode' to nature's beautiful greens!  I love you!
Picture
Ingredients: 

Note:  I soaked my hand-picked miners lettuce in a highly diluted water/vinegar mixture - to debug - then rinsed and drained. 

  • 2TBSP oil 
  • 4-6 cups Mixed Salad Greens (I used mixed salad greens & Miner's Lettuce - only use what you know!)
  • 1/2 Shallot, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Hing (or one clove minced garlic)
  • 3 cups (approximate) Vegetable Broth - Preheated
  • 1/2 cup pre-COOKED rice (brown or sticky white)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste!  

DIRECTIONS
  • Heat oil in soup skillet
  • Add Shallots & garlic (if using garlic)with a tad of salt - and saute until tender (do not brown)
  • Pour preheated broth into Pan and stir in rice
  • Mix in greens - Greens should overwhelm the pot - and should wilt until they are equal with liquid (so make this balance happen by either adding more greens or increasing the water)
  • Add Hing now - if you are using Hing 
  • Allow greens to wilt and soak into liquid - do this briefly - you want them to just begin to leech into broth
  • Puree entire soup or solids (with a ladle of liquid) in blender (be careful with hot liquids - remove inner cap of blender to release heat while blending - (be sure to cover opening of blender lightly with cloth, too) 
  • Return soup to pot and heat briefly on low for a few minutes only ...
  • add Salt and Pepper to taste.  With these greens salt brings out the flavor ... so, salt in increments - allow to sit briefly then taste and adjust... 

This is such an awesome soup ... so hearty and flavorful ... instant Karma!
