Creamy Arugula And Lettuce Soup With Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, onion, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and a couple turns of pepper and cook until the onion is softened, about 6 minutes. Whisk in the milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lettuce and cook, turning with tongs, until bright green, about 1 minute. Working in batches, blend the soup until smooth; return it to the pot to heat through and thin with milk or water as desired. Serve topped with shredded romaine.
• Disclaimer: When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add carrots and celery to stockpot; continue cooking until soft, about 10 minutes. Pour vegetable broth, water, and white wine over the mixture. Stir crushed tomatoes, lentils, paprika, bay leaves, honey, salt, and black pepper into the mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover the stockpot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft, about 1 hour.
• Remove and discard bay leaves. Ladle into bowls and top with arugula and goat cheese to serve.

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in covered pot for linguine.
• Trim and wash arugula thoroughly. Dry thoroughly.
• In food processor, blend yogurt, ricotta and goat cheese until creamy.
• Add arugula to ricotta mixture and blend until arugula is thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook linguine according to package directions.
• When linguine is cooked, drain and top immediately with sauce.
