CHILLED PEA, LETTUCE AND HERB SOUP
This elegant soup is sweet and heavenly. The texture is silky and the consistency thick -- but only because there are lots of peas in it. I used water rather than stock when I tested this recipe, and it worked just fine.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the leeks and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the peas, lettuce and stock or water, and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat. Drain through a strainer set over a bowl, and allow the vegetables and the broth to cool for 15 minutes. Taste the broth, and season as desired.
- Working in batches, purée the vegetables and herbs in a blender with the broth and additional olive oil for two minutes until frothy and smooth. Pour into a bowl, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for several hours.
- Serve, garnishing with additional chives, tarragon and/or mint.

CHILLED SUMMER LETTUCE, LOVAGE AND GARDEN PEA SOUP
A delightful and refreshing chilled soup for summer - this savoury soup takes its flavour from freshly chopped lovage leaves, which impart a savoury, lemony and celery-like taste. I like to serve this pale green soup in clear glass bowls for maximum impact, with a few chopped leaves sprinkled on top and a swirl of cream. This soup makes an elegant starter for any summer event or a light luncheon dish. Do not be tempted to add more lovage then is suggested, it is a very strong flavoured herb and can be overpowering if used with a heavy hand!

Steps:
- Sweat the spring onions in the oil or butter until soft, then add the peas and lettuce. Pour over two-thirds of the stock, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
- Remove from the heat and add the lovage leaves then blend the soup with a hand blender or in a liquidiser. Thin the soup to your preferred texture with the remaining stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the soup in a container and chill in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours. Serve chilled with chopped lovage leaves and a swirl of cream.

LETTUCE SOUP
An easy Lettuce Soup recipe. This soup is a great way to use lettuce's outer leaves and ribs, which usually go to waste. Any kind of potato and any salad greens, including lettuce, arugula, spinach, and watercress, will work fine.

Stir in potato, lettuce, and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potato is very tender, about 10 minutes.

- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium flame. Add the leek and cook, stirring frequently, until it is soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Don’t let it brown—reduce heat, if needed. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add lettuce and cook, stirring frequently, until it wilts, another 7 minutes.
- Add peas, stock, 1 cup of water, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, until peas are soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about 1/2 cup of the peas to a small bowl and reserve (honestly, this was probably the most painstaking part of cooking this soup).
- Stir in the tarragon and cream. Purée the soup until smooth, using a blender and working in batches. (Clark says you can also use an immersion blender, but that didn’t get it as smooth as we wanted it to be—use a blender.) Then return it to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
- If you’re making the ricotta topping, fold together the ricotta, the lemon zest and a little salt in a medium bowl; we found this took some serious stirring to soften the ricotta.
