Creamy Arugula And Lettuce Soup With Goat Cheese Recipes

LETTUCE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil on medium heat in medium sized pot.
• When hot, add the garlic until slightly brown.
• Add your lettuce, parsley and oregano and stir until lettuce is wilted.
• Add your chicken broth and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
• Transfer in batches to blender or use immersion blender to puree soup. If using a blender do this in batches and be careful as the liquid will be very hot.

• Serve, garnish with additional heavy cream on top if desired.

LENTIL SOUP WITH GOAT CHEESE AND ARUGULA

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.

INSTANT POT CREAMY GOAT CHEESE PASTA

Steps:

• Add the penne, cherry tomatoes, vegetable broth, olive oil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Stir to evenly combine; it's ok if not all of the pasta and tomatoes are fully submerged in the liquid. Place the log of goat cheese on top and in the center of the bowl.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the pasta together until the tomatoes have all been crushed and the cheese is thoroughly integrated into the sauce. Spoon into serving bowls and top with the basil.

CREAMY ARUGULA AND LETTUCE SOUP WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Garnish: 2 1/2 ounces goat cheese, sliced
• In a medium pot warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until tender and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the potatoes and the stock. Bring the stock to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer, covered, until the potatoes are almost tender, about 20 minutes. Add the arugula and lettuce to the pot and continue simmering, uncovered until the greens are tender, another 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and greens to a blender. Pour in enough of the stock to cover the vegetables. Add the cream, salt, and pepper.
• *Blend the ingredients together until smooth. Be careful to blend slowly at first with a kitchen towel held tight to the top of the blender lid. Blending hot ingredients can cause the lid to blow off. Pour the blended soup back into the pot with the remaining stock. Stir to combine. Cover and keep warm.
• Pour the soup into 4 serving bowls. Top each soup with 1/2-ounce sliced goat cheese. Serve immediately.
• * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
