About the dish

This flavorful sorrel soup is a comforting dish that is prepared and consumed throughout Poland and many Eastern European countries. It is usually prepared with fresh sorrel that is gently cooked in meat or vegetable broths and thickened with egg yolks, flour, or sour cream. This hearty summer dish can also incorporate various root vegetables, and traditional Polish cuisine suggests serving it with sliced hard-boiled eggs. Although it can be enjoyed as a warm appetizer, it is usually consumed as the main course accompanied by toasted bread on the side.
