My mother used to make a classic Eastern European dish called schav, a cold sorrel soup served with sour cream and slices of hard-boiled egg. Refreshing on a warm day.
Sorrel is practically the national soup of Latvia. Latvians use chicken broth and potatoes and a couple of chopped hard cooked eggs and dill as a garnish, and then add the obligatory dollop of sour cream. After escaping the Soviet occupation, my aunt had a Latvian friend mail seeds from Latvia to plant in the US.
Interesting but it's oseille in French! When I was younger we had soupe à l'oseille, omelette à l'oseille etc. et aussi un sublime veau de lait à l'oseille!
