Title: Sorrel soup
Categories: Soups, Side dish
Yield: 4 Servings
2 tb Butter
1 oz Fresh sorrel leaves
2 tb Heavy cream
3 3/4 c Vegetable or chicken stock
Salt to taste
This is a lovely soup that is quick and easy to make and is a real
comfort soup. The recipe was given to us by the folks at Bellwether
Farms in Fort Collins CO (though it has been modified just a tad). It
is certainly very basic and probably quite old, though no one knows
its origin.
*********************************************************************
The original recipe called for light cream. It is likely that what
was light cream when this recipe was first devised is more like what
we now call heavy cream. The light cream of the local American
grocery store in 1990 breaks up as if the acid nature of the sorrel
is too much for the constitution of the cream. Melt butter in a pan.
Add sorrel and cook gently for 4 to 5 minutes. Add salt. Add cream
and cook gently until thick. Gradually add the stock and heat slowly.
Do not allow to boil.
