Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh sorrel leaves, washed and chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like chives or dill, optional)
Instructions
- Sauté the Onion: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Sorrel: Stir in the chopped sorrel leaves and cook until wilted, around 3-4 minutes.
- Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of it.

- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy warm with crusty bread.
