Never in my life have I tasted a soup with so much flavor in every bite…and each bite was better than the last! I will be watching all my sorrel plants to see when they’ve grown enough to make this soup again.

I really enjoyed this soup! I made a half batch and had a few tweaks due to what I had on hand. Didn’t have fresh dill or parsley, so used dried dill. Plus I had a little leftover spinach, so included that. left out the garlic and cayenne and didn’t miss it because the citrus flavour was so nice. I received a bunch of sorrel in my Farm Share this week and wasn’t sure how to use it. This soup was a real winner. could be adapted to any type of greens I would think.

This soup is so tasty and almost has a pickle flavour. I’m always anxious for the sorrel to be ready in the spring so I can make this soup.
