1 cup chopped onions (your choice)
1 to 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper (to taste)
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
8 cups coarsely chopped lettuce leaves
3 cups water
Fresh dill, cilantro, or parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large heavy pot, cook the onions and garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions and garlic are softened.
Add the coriander, salt, and pepper and stir for about a minute.
Add lettuce, potato, and water.
Bring mixture to a boil
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes. Potato should be very tender.
Puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender if you have one, or process the soup in batches in a blender or food processor.

Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Garnish each bowl with a fresh spring of parsley, cilantro, or dill.
