Ingredients

• 250 grams fresh sorrel leaves
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the sorrel leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. Remove the tough stems and roughly chop the leaves.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces. Set them aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped sorrel leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they wilt and turn dark green.

Step 6

Add the vegetable stock and diced potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Using an immersion blender (or transferring the soup to a countertop blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until thoroughly chilled.

Step 10

Serve the chilled soup in bowls, garnished with fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
