Schav Chef Joeys Sorrel And Garlic Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in nonreactive soup pot. Sweat shallot and minced potato scraps in the butter slowly, stirring gently. Season with salt.
• Put diced potatoes in the water, season with salt and bring to a boil. Simmer potatoes until perfectly cooked, a couple of minutes only. Taste one cube to determine.
• Add sorrel to sweating shallot-potato mixture, and season with salt. Stir and wilt the sorrel, which will happen almost instantly, turning drab immediately.
• Add the cooked potatoes and their salty water to the pot of sorrel. Season with salt, if needed, keeping in mind that when chilled, the flavors are dulled significantly.

• Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
• With a stick blender puree everything in the pot. Bring back to a boil and add the sorrel leaves. Cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the citrus juice and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until completely chilled.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and a piece of crusty bread.
• Enjoy!

• Cook stirring, for 10 minutes until the sorrel is wilted and the onion translucent. Add water and salt.
• Let the soup simmer for 25 to 30 minutes more.
