How to make it
- Gently sauté the onion in the oil, then add the diced carrots and potatoes and the water. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- Add the washed, roughly chopped sorrel. Simmer for just 3–5 minutes, until the leaves wilt.
- Mix the egg yolks with the sour cream, temper the mixture with some hot soup, then stir it in with the heat off.
- Taste before adding anything sour: the sorrel is sour already. Season with salt and pepper.
