Sorrel soup

Sorrel soup simply needs to be prepared in the spring, when it begins to appear on the market shelves: at this time of the year, its leaves are the most tender. If you are a happy owner of a summer cottage, even better, because do-it-yourself greens are both healthier and tastier! In essence, this soup is quite simple, but it has a certain “zest”: it is seasoned with a yolk-cream mixture, which makes the taste of the dish especially refined. It's definitely worth a try! Moreover, such a sorrel soup is also more satisfying than lean options, which means that you can safely offer it for dinner to the whole family and be sure that everyone will be satisfied.

Sorrel soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Spinach or Swiss chard mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice can mimic sorrel's tangy flavor, though the taste will be milder.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the cream.
Absolutely! Use vegetable broth, replace butter with olive oil, and substitute cream with coconut milk or cashew cream for a vegan version.
Temper the yolks by slowly adding hot soup while whisking, then pour the mixture back into the pot in a thin stream over low heat.
Freezing isn’t recommended due to the dairy and egg content, which may separate and alter the texture upon thawing.
Try a dollop of sour cream, fresh dill, croutons, or a hard-boiled egg for extra richness and texture.
For a thicker consistency, increase the flour slightly. For thinner soup, add more broth or water during cooking.
Skip the flour or use a small amount of xanthan gum as a thickener, and ensure your broth is low-carb.
