This is the third time I cooked this quick and easy soup of Iceberg Lettuce. Every time I cooked it, I used more Lettuce than last time. Today I added 150g and it looked too much, but it was not. I could have added more. That’s because the volume of Iceberg Lettuce is reduced significantly when cooked. I like to add thinly sliced Pork to this soup, but you can add Chicken OR Beef. This is a very filling soup, but fairly low in calories.
