Who doesn't love a steaming bowl of soup? This simple and healthy lamb's lettuce soup with omelette is perfect for those who appreciate the fresh green taste of vegetables. Lamb's lettuce, with its nutrient-rich leaves, offers a delicate flavor and vibrant color that will bring a touch of cheer to every meal. Even if your family isn't as fond of greens, this soup might just convince them!

Necessary ingredients:

- 4-5 bunches of lamb's lettuce (approximately 400 g)
- 1 bunch of green onion
- 1 carrot (approximately 100 g)
- 1 bell pepper (approximately 100 g)
- 2 tablespoons of rice
- 300 ml yogurt or 200 ml sour cream
- Borscht (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Lovage (fresh, for flavor)
- For the omelette:
- 2 eggs
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon oil

Steps for preparation:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by cleaning and washing all the vegetables. It is essential to remove any impurities, so rinsing under cold running water is recommended. Cut the carrot and bell pepper into small cubes or slices, according to preference.

2. Boiling the vegetables: Place the chopped vegetables in a large pot, add water and a teaspoon of salt. Let them boil over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until they start to soften.

3. Preparing the lamb's lettuce: Meanwhile, wash the lamb's lettuce under cold water and select the healthy leaves. Chop them finely so they integrate perfectly into the soup. Add the chopped lamb's lettuce to the pot along with the washed rice. The rice will add a pleasant texture and make the soup more substantial.

4. Seasoning: After adding the lamb's lettuce and rice, add salt and borscht to taste. The borscht will give a sour note that perfectly complements the flavors in the soup. Let it simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes until the rice is cooked.

5. Preparing the omelette: In a frying pan, add the oil and let it heat up. Beat the two eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the pan. Cook the omelette until it turns golden, then flip it onto a plate and cut it into thin strips.

6. Finalizing the soup: When the soup is almost ready, add the strips of omelette and gently stir. Reducing the heat and adding yogurt or sour cream at the end will provide a special creaminess. Season with fresh lovage, giving it one last boil to enhance the flavors.

7. Serving: The lamb's lettuce soup can be served hot or cold. I recommend it with fresh green onion for an extra flavor boost, and for a complete meal, you can accompany it with a slice of fresh bread or crunchy croutons.

Practical tips:

- If you don't have borscht on hand, you can use lemon juice as an alternative to achieve a sour note.
- Lamb's lettuce can be replaced or combined with other greens, such as spinach or nettles, for a variation of the recipe.
- This soup is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as minerals, making it an excellent choice for a healthy meal.

Frequently asked questions:

1. How long can lamb's lettuce soup be kept? The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
2. Can I add other vegetables? Of course! Carrot and bell pepper are just suggestions; you can add zucchini or potatoes to diversify the recipe.
3. Is this soup vegetarian? Yes, the recipe is vegetarian, but you can add chicken or smoked meat for a richer variant.
