Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, pour in your vegetable or chicken stock. Heat over medium-high heat until it simmers, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped butter lettuce, sliced spring onions, and fresh dill to the pot. Stir gently, allowing the greens to wilt for around 5 minutes.
  3. Remove half of the mixture to a blender, add the sour cream, and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls while hot. Optionally garnish with croutons or leftover roast meat.
