Instructions

1. Thoroughly clean the lamb`s lettuce and wash it several times. Blanch briefly in plenty of salted water and then rinse in cold water so that it keeps its color. Roughly chop the lettuce.
2. Finely dice the shallots, fry them in the hot butter, add the chopped garlic and grate the raw potatoes for the binding. Deglaze with the broth. Then salt, pepper and add a little nutmeg. Add the piece of lemon peel and the bay leaf. Cook slowly until soft, then puree, remove the lemon peel and bay leaf beforehand.
3. Just before serving, add the lamb`s lettuce and puree the entire soup with the blender. Bring to the boil, fill up with cream, mix up again and, above all, season very well with salt, sugar and lemon juice.
4. Pour into cups and sprinkle strips of crispy fried ham on top.
