Best 6 Shav Sorrel Soup With Hard Boiled Egg Recipes

SORREL SOUP WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Make a rich beef stock by simmering beef bones in 9 cups water over medium-low heat, skimming the gray scum that rises to the top. Add trimmed, pared and split vegetables, the tablespoon of salt and the pepper, the bay leaf and the dried mushrooms. (If using Italian mushrooms, first soak for 20 minutes in warm water to soften, then rinse to remove sand.) Bring to a simmer, partly cover and cook for two hours. When cooking is done, discard vegetables and bones. Cool in refrigerator or freezer, then skim fat if necessary.
• Bring remaining 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil, add remaining teaspoon salt and one tablespoon of the butter. When butter has melted, add rice. Cook, partly covered, about 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked through but not mushy. Set aside.
• Wash and drain sorrel. Bring stock to a rolling boil and add sorrel all at once. Stir, and cook until sorrel is soft, about 5 minutes.
• While sorrel is cooking, mix sour cream with flour to make a smooth paste. Add a little boiling stock and mix well. Keep adding stock and mixing until you have a cup of liquid. When sorrel is cooked, beat the sour cream mixture into the hot soup. Add salt and pepper if necessary. Cook at a gentle boil about 5 minutes longer.
• Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add croutons and toss until browned.
• To serve, put a quarter-cup mound of rice in each soup plate. Pour the hot soup around it and top with chopped eggs, croutons and finely minced dill. Serve immediately.

SCHAV BORSCHT - SORREL SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the sorrel thoroughly in several changes of cold water. Remove and discard the stems. Chop the leaves into thin ribbons. You can make this with spinach but the taste will be different. Sorrel has a sour/bitter flavor.
• Heat the butter or oil in a 3 quart saucepan and saute, the sorrel and onions.
• Cook stirring, for 10 minutes until the sorrel is wilted and the onion translucent. Add water and salt.
• Let the soup simmer for 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Add the lemon juice a little at a time, tasting constantly to achieve the degree of tartness that pleases you.
• Beat a tablespoon or two of the soup into the egg yolks, then stir egg yolks into the soup. Reheat the soup but do not let it boil after adding the egg yolks.
• Serve hot or cold, accompanied by sour cream.

SHAV - SORREL SOUP WITH HARD BOILED EGG

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.
