Wash the lettuce and cut it into small pieces. Once onion is softened, add lettuce into the pan with the onion, give it a stir and heat for a second to wilt the lettuce. Then pour in the chicken broth, cover with a lid and let it cook on low for about 20 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the lettuce from the cooking broth and move it into a blender. Puree the lettuce. Add the breadcrumbs to the cooking broth, then add the pureed lettuce. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and cook on low, stirring until soup gets creamy.
