Servings: persons

1 pound fresh sorrel
2 medium white potatoes
1 leek
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups chicken stock (preferably homemade)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sugar, plus extra if necessary
1 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
1 cup sour cream for garnishing
6 to 8 tablespoons chopped scallions

1
Stem and wash the sorrel, and cut the leaves into ribbons.
2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into half-inch dice.
3
Cut the leek in half, chop it and wash it thoroughly.
4
Melt the butter in a large saucepan, and cook the leek for two minutes over medium heat.
5
Add the sorrel and potatoes and cook for five minutes.
6
Add the stock, two cups water, salt and pepper to taste, and the sugar, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.
7
Puree the soup in a blender or food processor.
8
(A blender works better than a food processor; if you use the processor, puree the solids first and gradually add the liquids).
9
Stir in the cream and chill the soup for at least an hour.
10
Just before serving, add the lemon juice and additional sugar and salt, if necessary - the soup should be refreshingly tart but a little sweet.
11

12
Garnish each bowl with chopped scallions.
