Sorrel soup
Sorrel soup is a very refreshing and light soup with a slightly tangy lemon-like taste. This taste comes from the main ingredient of the soup – sorrel leaves.
Those folks in Russia who are lucky to have a datcha – a land allotment with a small or not so small house/mini- cottage, grow sorrel leaves there and then pinch whatever quantity they need for the soup or salad.
Those with the business mindset sell sorrel away together with other veggies and groceries at the local markets.
Sorrel is reach in vitamins C, B and K and iron. Cook this traditional summer/beginning of autumn Russian soup – it’s very easy!
