I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my soup turned out really thick. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds in the garnish. It was still delicious!

I had some trouble finding sorrel at my local grocery store. I ended up using spinach instead, and the soup still turned out great.

This soup is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of honey to sweeten it up.

This soup is a great way to use up fresh sorrel from the garden. It's also a nice change from the usual tomato or gazpacho soup.
