Sorrel soup

Sorrel is another of our over-wintered vegetables that’s very useful at this time of year for adding a fresh, tangy taste to our meals, as well as being an excellent source of vitamins A and C. The boys love the taste of the young leaves, so when they’re in the garden they tend to graze sorrel as they play. But the bed the sorrel has been in is due to be put down to carrots, spring onions and onion seedlings so it’s time for the plants to go. I’ve already transplanted the 10 strongest plants to this year’s leaf vegetable beds, so all the rest has to be used or dug in.
