Baba's Best Sorrel Soup image

This hearty, herbed soup has a wonderful old-world flavor! After I had experimented with and tweaked several sorrel soup recipes, my 88-year-old father-in-law declared it tasted like his mom made back in Poland - the ultimate compliment! It doesn't look like much, but is it ever tasty and filling. Use fresh sorrel in the spring, when the leaves are most tender. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with your favorite fresh herbs - parsley, dill, or cilantro. Serve with crusty bread or hearty biscuits.

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup sliced onion
5 large cloves garlic, minced
12 cups tightly packed sorrel leaves, stems and veins removed

I'm not a big fan of hard-boiled eggs, so I omitted them from this recipe. The soup was still delicious and I didn't miss the eggs at all.

I added a cup of chopped spinach to this soup and it was delicious! The spinach added a nice extra boost of nutrients and it also made the soup a little bit thicker.
