garden sorrel and orach soup is one of the most representative dishes of spring, full of vitamins, sour and energizing, just like a healthy food should be this season. whether you do it for lent or immediately following the holidays (when a light diet is necessary after culinary excesses), vegetable soup is always a good choice.
 
you can cook it simple, only with vegetables, or you can give it a festive appearance and a creamier taste, adding beaten egg and cream at the end.
 
the garden sorrel and orach soup is usually flavored with plenty of greens: parsley, dill, lovage and ramsons. and because it is spring, you can put a lot of green onion, both in preparation and for decor.
