Sorrel Soup (Russian Green Borscht)

Recipe Description

This Sorrel Soup (Green Borscht) is another one of our delicious, authentically  Russian soup, that is full of everything good and nothing bad. Packed with vitamins and nutrients, this broth-like soup is filled with a handful of sorrel leaves, a few potatoes, boiled eggs, onion and garlic. I like mine best served with a dollop of sour cream on top and some crispy bread for dipping.

Garlic was kinda overwhelming in this I think only half a clove is neccessary if youre serving it only for yourself and make small portions.

I liked this soup but sadly not as much as I enjoyed the Shchi, had more flavor and colors too.

My kids are not a fan but I think it was good with some cheesy garlic bread on the side.
