This is a lazy way of preparing Polish sorrel soup, using ready chopped sorrel from the jar rather than fresh one. On the positive note, this way it can be enjoyed all year around, not only in Summer.

For traditional (my mum’s) version take a look here:  Polish Sorrel Soup from Scratch.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 large vegetable cubes (10 g each)
• 280 g jar of chopped sorrel
• 750 g potatoes (peeled, cubed)
• 2 – 3 carrots (peeled, halved lengthwise)
• 1 parsnip (peeled, halved lengthwise)
• few garlic cloves (chopped) or some garlic powder
• 4 tbs olive oil
• sea salt – to taste
• black peppercorns
• hard boiled eggs – to serve
• soured cream – to serve

METHOD

1. To the large pot add cubes, boiling water, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, olive oil and garlic.

4. Season to taste with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
