Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 bunch fresh sorrel, chopped
1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot and sauté onion and carrots until softened and fragrant.
- Add diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in chopped sorrel and spinach. Cook for another 5 minutes until greens wilt.
- Season with salt, black pepper, dill, and lemon juice. Adjust to taste.
- Stir in chopped hard-boiled egg just before serving.
- Ladle soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.
Notes
If sorrel isn’t available, use extra spinach and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice.
For a heartier soup, add shredded chicken or smoked sausage.
Frozen spinach works fine just thaw and drain before adding.
The soup can be served hot or chilled for a refreshing summer option.
Flavor improves when made a day ahead.
