For the soup
1 tablespoon butter
2 bunches baby leeks, if using regular leeks, white part only
4 garlic cloves
4 shallots, peeled and sliced
2 sprigs thyme
2 bay leaves
4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 bunches sorrel leaves
1 cup nettle leaves, blanched and chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour Cream or Creme Fraiche to finish (optional)
For the Relish
1 medium shallot, finely diced
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup marinated Prickly or any small mushrooms
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1
Melt the butter in a medium soup pot over a medium heat. Sweat the leeks, garlic, shallots and herbs until translucent. Add the potatoes and cook for a few minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and reduce the heat to a simmer for about half an hour.
2
Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Add the sorrel and nettle; then pulse the blender a few more times to mix together. Pass the mixture through a fine chinos or food mill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You may add a dollop of Sour Cream or Creme Fraiche to finish, if desired. Serve immediately.
3
Place shallot and spring onions in a bowl of ice water; soak 20 minutes. Drain shallot and spring onions, squeezing in paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible; transfer to a bowl. Add sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Mix in the mushrooms and spoon on the top of the soup as much as you desire. Enjoy!
