Preparation steps

1.

Rinse lettuce and remove outer leaves. Cut lettuce into strips. Peel shallots and chop finely. Heat oil in a saucepan and saute shallots gently. Add lettuce and saute on low heat for a few minutes. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 1-2 minutes on low heat. 

2.

Remove from heat and puree with an immersion blender finely or coarsely, as desired.  If soup is too thick, add a little water (50-100 ml) (approximately 1/5- 2/5 cup). Add cream and reheat soup. Season heavily with salt, pepper, chile powder and nutmeg. Pour into bowls and serve hot.
