Sorrel Soup
Don’t cook sorrel for extended periods of time in cast iron pots/pans… the acidity of the sorrel reacts with the iron and creates a metallic-tasting dish!

  • 4 sli bacon
  • 3 leeks
  • 1 onion
  • 3 c stock
  • 1 lb potatoes

Sorrel Soup Directions

    In a heavy pot, sauté the bacon in a dash of oil until crispy. Add the chopped leeks, the onions and continue to cook them over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. At this point, add the stock. Bring the broth to a boil, than reduce to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the chopped sorrel.
