tureen. Place lettuce leaves in a large, dry saucepan
and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes.
Into another pan on low heat, place butter, stir in
onion, and let cook until soft. Stir in flour, making
a roux. Cook 3 minutes while stirring.
Stir milk into roux and half of the chicken stock.
Remove cooked lettuce from pot, puree in a blender and
add to soup. Add rest of chicken stock and cook while
stirring for 7 minutes or until thickened. Season to
