Cream of Sorrel Soup Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients - 1 onion - 2 medium potatoes (or 1 large) - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 pound sorrel (substitute half spinach) - 3 cups chicken broth - 1/2 cup cream - salt and pepper    The citrusy tartness of sorrel is nicely balanced with the small amount of cream to make a refreshing soup served equally well hot or cold.   Directions Peel or scrub the potatoes; chop the potatoes and onion. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Cook potato and onion, lightly salted, in the oil, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, rinse the sorrel and strip out the center stems which may be tough and fibrous. Reserve a small leaf or two for garnish, if you wish. Add stock and sorrel to the pot. Cover and cook until sorrel, potato and onion are soft - about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add	1

Garnish, if you wish, with slivers of reserved sorrel leaf, edible flowers or a few snipped chives.   Tip: Sorrel can be hard to find in the store, but is very easy to grow. If you are fortunate enough to have garden space, stick a plant or two of this hardy perennial in a corner. It is as good raw as cooked.	2
