| Author Notes: | Schav, a simple sorrel soup, is one of the forgotten soups of Eastern Europe. It is absolutely delicious and extremely healthy, if a little visually unappealing. As an illustration, if Popeye was an old Jewish man, this is what he'd eat instead of spinach. In fact, spinach is a common substitution for sorrel, which is sometimes hard to find. While I don't recommend half-assing this recipe, if you must substitute spinach, add ¼ cup lemon juice to achieve the desired tartness. This is another soup that serves well hot or cold and is elegant in its simplicity. |
| Ingredients: |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or schmaltz (rendered chicken fat)
2 onions, chopped 12 cups chicken stock 1 pound fresh sorrel, stems included, finely chopped salt and freshly ground black pepper |
| Instructions: |
Heat the oil in your soup pot over medium-high heat and sauté the onions for about 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the sorrel and season with salt and pepper. simmer until the sorrel is olive green in color, about 10 minutes. Using a blender or food processor, blend until smooth. For the Manischewitz texture, you can then strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve hot or cold. |
