This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini.

I'm not a fan of dill, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious!

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

I'm not a huge fan of sorrel, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was actually quite good. The sorrel flavor wasn't too overpowering and the other ingredients balanced it out nicely.

This soup is the perfect way to warm up on a cold day. The sorrel gives it a lovely tangy flavor and the dill adds a nice freshness.
