Review of last recipe - Nice open-faced sandwich to make ... I think it was the first time I had Camembert (a bit like brie) ... the one I chose was from a creamery in VT.

TODAY'S RECIPE - SOUP OF THREE GREENS
6 servings at 110 calories/serving

3 cups chicken stock
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup sliced green onion
2 cups firmly packed, coarsely chopped escarole leaves
2 cups firmly packed, coarsely chopped romaine lettuce leaves
2 cups firmly packed, coarsely chopped spinach leaves
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2-3/4 tsp coarse salt

Bring stock, garlic and pepper flakes to boil in stockpot. Reduce heat to medium and stir in escarole and green onion. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Add lettuce, and cover and cook 10 minutes. Stir in spinach. Cover and cook 2 minutes. Chop mixture finely in food processor in batches using on/off turns. With machine running, add cream and yolk through feed tube to the last batch and process until blended.

Return soup to pot and stir over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes; do not boil. Add lemon juice and salt. Ladle into soup bowls and serve.
