I do not like to throw. It is something that is probably part of my genes, with grand-parents who lived certainly happy, but sparingly. I was trying to clean and prepare a lettuce for our meal tonight when I told myself that all these remains vested in the trash, could be the basis for a soup for our dinner.
And here's what you need for 2 persons:
2 small shallots
10 g de butter
Peelings of a lettuce
1 cac de concentrate of Thermomix beef stock
500 g of water
Crème fraîche (or sour cream) according to taste
Chop shallots 10 sec to V5.
Add the butter, remains of lettuce and sauté 5 min at 100 ° C, V3
Add the Thermomix meat concentrate, 500 g of water, Crème fraîche and Cook 10 min at 100 ° C, V3.
At the ringing tone, smooth 20 sec to V10
Serve immediately with some peelings of parsley in decoration.
Tip: do not discard the remains of peeling of lettuce, ribs of leaves, wilted leaves because you will make a good soup that you may enrich. You could add a potato, substitute the cream by coconut milk, add diced small raw scallops on top which will cook in contact with soup, crumble some pancetta roasted in a pan... The possibilities are endless...
I prepare the same soup with radish tops.

My MIL used to make a lettuce soup and it was lovely. I think I was given lettuce soup at a demo some time too.
This certainly saves waste.
