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.

A hearty and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold day. I used smoked ham hocks instead of chicken broth, which gave the soup a delicious smoky flavor. The sorrel added a nice tanginess, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked.

For a refreshing summer soup, I highly recommend this chilled sorrel soup. It has a delightful tangy flavor from the sorrel, and the yogurt adds a creamy richness. I served it with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.

I love making sorrel soup in the springtime when fresh sorrel is available. This recipe is a great base, but I like to add a few more vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and potatoes. I also like to use a combination of chicken and vegetable broth f

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegan version, and it turned out great! The sorrel gave the soup a lovely tangy flavor, and the addition of dill and lemon zest really brightened it up.
