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.
To make Sorrel Soup (Green Borscht), you will need the following ingredients:
In a medium pan, heat some oil and water and add 1 diced onion. Cook for a few minutes until softened.
Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil.
Once heated, add 3-4 diced potatoes and season with some salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes before adding the cooked onion.
In a separate, small saucepan, boil 4 eggs.
Once the potatoes have softened, add 2 handfuls of roughly chopped sorrel along with 1 clove of garlic and any other herbs or vegetables that you may enjoy. Bring to a boil then remove from heat.
Serve the boiled eggs in individual bowls with soup poured over, and top with a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

Sourish but still delicious thanks for this.
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.
Fun soup to make and the green coloration is pretty too.
