Hot or Cold Sorrel Soup image

The tangy tartness of sorrel is nicely balanced with the cream to make a refreshing soup served cold for those hot days of summer but just as good served hot. Great to put into a thermos for a summer picnic.

I'm not a big fan of sorrel, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The soup was surprisingly delicious. The sorrel flavor was mild and delicate, and the soup was very refreshing. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always make a big pot of chicken soup on the weekend and then I use the leftovers to make this sorrel soup during the week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added a little more sugar.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out perfectly. It was so easy to make and it was a hit with my family. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more dill.
