Creamy Dandelion Soup
- 1 pound dandelion greens, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1/2 medium-sized)
- 1.1 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Reduced-fat sour cream (optional)
- 8 lemon wedges
- Separate 1 dandelion leaf from the bunch; thinly slice, and set aside. Fill a large Dutch oven half full with water; bring to a boil. Add remaining greens to boiling water; cover and cook for 2 minutes. Drain. Place greens in a food processor; process 30 seconds or until smooth.
- Place oil and butter in a 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter melts. Add onion; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle flour over onion mixture, stirring to coat. Add broth and next 4 ingredients (through pepper), stirring with a whisk. Stir in pureed greens. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish servings evenly with reserved sliced greens. Top with sour cream, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges.
