Green Borscht

The CC has been trying to replicate this ever since he first ate it last year.

Mere words cannot describe how delectable this soup is!

Ingredients

1 large red onion (diced fine)
1 head green garlic (diced fine)
1 bunch sorrel (stripped of stems, chopped)
2 potatoes (diced into smallish cubes)
1 bunch scallions (green and white parts, chopped into rounds)
1 large bunch fresh dill (chopped)

4 cups broth (substitute with water)

oil
salt
lots and lots and lots of black pepper
dash of vinegar

Recipe

The recipe is straightforward.

Fry the onions and garlic. Fry the potatoes. Add the sorrel and fry till it wilts. Add the broth, salt and black pepper. Simmer till the potatoes are soft (20 mins roughly.)

Add the scallion and dill towards the end. (The soup should be just lightly sour. Add a dash of vinegar if not sour enough.)
