Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a stockpot over low heat until it begins to shimmer, add garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sorrel and cook, stirring occasionally, until leaves are wilted and turn from bright green to a dull, khaki color, 3 to 4 minutes.

  2. Place potatoes, vegetable stock, salt, thyme, and pepper into the pot. Bring mixture to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool 10 minutes.

  3. Pour in half-and-half. Blend mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Taste and adjust salt if desired.

Recipe Note

I can see why the French love this soup! A special, delicious soup with a taste all its own. This is a definite must-make over and over again! You can use any sorrel you like in making this recipe, sheep's sorrel, wood sorrel, or garden sorrel. Serve hot or chilled. Drizzle with a little cream and garnish with a sprig of sorrel and serve with a fresh green salad.
