Deliciously Tangy Sorrel Soup

This sorrel soup is a luxurious blend of tender sorrel leaves, cream, and aromatic onions. The taste is a perfect balance of tangy and creamy, making it a refreshing yet hearty dish that’s ideal for any occasion.

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

1. 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.
2. Add Sorrel: Stir in the chopped sorrel leaves and cook until wilted, around 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of it.
5. Stir in Cream: Return the pureed soup to heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy warm with crusty bread.
