ICE-COLD SCHAV
Nothing revives and refreshes in a heat wave like this ice-cold schav, made with the exceptionally tart herb sorrel. The soup is seasoned at each stage: You salt the sweating shallots, the cooking potatoes, again when you add the sorrel and finally again when all is combined, which seems like a lot of salt. But once the mixture is chilled, the flavors are masked and dulled so it will taste just right. Using the stems of herbs is a habit I've formed in general, but in the case of sorrel I wish it were an herb all on its own - that you could just buy sorrel stems. I've seen Instagrammable versions of the soup with the egg cut into pristine wedges and bright green watercress substituted for drab muddy sorrel, but I think the way to go here is without vanity: Scatter well-chopped hard-boiled egg liberally over the drab soup, and follow with the minced stems, also liberally.

Steps:
- Melt butter in nonreactive soup pot. Sweat shallot and minced potato scraps in the butter slowly, stirring gently. Season with salt.
- Put diced potatoes in the water, season with salt and bring to a boil. Simmer potatoes until perfectly cooked, a couple of minutes only. Taste one cube to determine.
- Add sorrel to sweating shallot-potato mixture, and season with salt. Stir and wilt the sorrel, which will happen almost instantly, turning drab immediately.
- Add the cooked potatoes and their salty water to the pot of sorrel. Season with salt, if needed, keeping in mind that when chilled, the flavors are dulled significantly.
- Chill immediately and thoroughly - overnight even.
- Chop the hard-boiled eggs, and scatter in the cold soup. Mince half the reserved stems from the sorrel as you would chives, and sprinkle over soup.

Steps:
- Stem and wash the sorrel, and cut the leaves into ribbons. Peel the potatoes and cut them into half-inch dice. Cut the leek in half, chop it and wash it thoroughly.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, and cook the leek for two minutes over medium heat. Add the sorrel and potatoes and cook for five minutes. Add the stock, two cups water, salt and pepper to taste, and the sugar, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.
- Puree the soup in a blender or food processor. (A blender works better than a food processor; if you use the processor, puree the solids first and gradually add the liquids). Stir in the cream and chill the soup for at least an hour. Just before serving, add the lemon juice and additional sugar and salt, if necessary - the soup should be refreshingly tart but a little sweet. Serve schav in bowls with dollops of sour cream. Garnish each bowl with chopped scallions.

SHAV - SORREL SOUP WITH HARD BOILED EGG
Shav, also known as Sorrel Soup can be either served hot or cold, but I prefer it as a cold soup. After it is chilled in the refrigerator, I add into each individual bowls a chopped up hard boiled egg and a dab of sour cream. Sorrel leaves are expensive, so I use spinach instead and you can hardly taste a big difference (provided sour salt is used). This soup can be found in Jewish cuisines and known in Russian, Polish and other eastern European countries. Served this tasty soup with an old style hard crusted pumpernickel bread and enjoy!

Steps:
- Wash thoroughly the spinach in cold water, then chop finely.
- Add 8 cups of water to a pot and bring to a boil.
- Add the chopped spinach, chopped onions and sour salt.
- Bring back up to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes, then set aside and allow to cool somewhat, then into the refrigerator to chill.
- Pour the chilled soup into 4 individual bowls, add a chopped up hard boiled egg and a dab of sour cream in the center.
- Serve with slices of hard crusted pumpernickel bread, enjoy.
- Notes:.
- If sorrel is used instead of spinach use less since they are expensive and therefore use less water for cooking, plus only use 1 teaspoon sour salt.
- Some people add egg yokes to the luke warm soup when it starts to cool and blend well, And make sure the egg does not curl up, I often use the egg yokes from a carton (found in the supermarkets) to reduce the risk of Salmonella from uncooked eggs.

Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Select a high-quality cut of beef for the best flavor and texture. Brisket, chuck roast, and short ribs are all good choices.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the beef and vegetables to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the soup for a long time: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer the soup for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: There are many different ways to serve schnitzel soup. Some popular toppings include sour cream, parsley, croutons, and bread.
Conclusion:
Beef schnitzel soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be made ahead of time. If you are looking for a delicious and comforting soup, beef schnitzel soup is a great option.
