Homemade: Schav

Last year I grew sorrel in a 5-gal bucket and made Schav from the leaves. Sometimes described as "green borscht", this Eastern European sour soup is served hot or cold with a dollop of sour cream. The soup is very easy to make:

Sauté julienned sorrel leaves, parsley, and white onion in butter until soft.

Add chicken stock and a few squeezes of lemon juice.

Season with salt, white and black pepper

Simmer for about 20-30 min.

Temper two beaten eggs with a ladle-full of hot soup. Remove the pot from the burner and stir in the egg.

Add a spoonful of good Russian sour cream and serve with a hunk of buttered pumpernickel or rye.
