Peel the onion, then finely chop it with a sharp knife. Heat vegetable oil (preferably extra virgin olive oil) in a frying pan or saucepan with a thick bottom, and add the onion. Sauté until golden brown, then pour in water and bring to a boil.

Step 2
Peel the potatoes and chop them. The smaller the potatoes are cut, the faster the soup will cook. Place the potatoes in a pot and boil until fully cooked.

Step 3
Rinse the sorrel and chop it. It is better to soak the leaves in water for several hours so they can release the sand, which is quite difficult to wash off.
