Sorrel and nettle soup
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. On average, chicken broth soup takes about 1.5 hours to cook. If you are fasting, you can make sorrel and nettle soup without eggs, using vegetable broth. This soup is very light and tasty, yet filling at the same time. It goes perfectly with sour cream and tastes similar to borscht with sorrel. Ladle into bowls and serve.
