Advice
Sorrel added to soup makes the dish wonderfully fresh and flavorful. In spring and summer, getting fresh sorrel is easy. But in winter, it might be harder. For this dish, you can use frozen or canned sorrel. By the way, you should prepare sorrel for freezing during the summer: sort it, wash, dry, chop it, and freeze it immediately. Having a couple of bags of frozen sorrel will let you enjoy this soup any time of year. In the finished green soup, simply add a bit of fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or green onions. Enjoy your meal and have a great mood!
Preparation
Step 1
You can use fresh, frozen, or canned sorrel. Use any meat you like; I used beef. Pre-boil the eggs for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Rinse the meat well and cook it in a pot for about one hour. While it’s cooking, wash and peel the vegetables.
Step 3
Finely chop the onion with a knife.
Step 4
Grate the carrot on a coarse grater.
Step 5
Prepare the sauté: fry the chopped onion and carrot in a pan with vegetable oil until golden brown.
Step 6
Remove the cooked meat, let it cool, and cut it into small pieces.
Step 7
Cut the potatoes into cubes or long slices.
Step 8
Put the chopped meat and potatoes into the meat broth. Continue cooking until the potatoes are done. Add bay leaf and salt with spices.
Step 9
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them.
Step 10
Wash the sorrel well, dry it, and chop it with a knife.
Step 11
Add the sautéed vegetables to the green soup, then add the chopped eggs and sorrel. Boil for about 5 minutes and remove the pot from heat. Serve the finished soup hot or cold with sour cream. For extra aroma, you can sprinkle fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, or parsley. Enjoy your meal!
