(Schav) Chef Joey's Sorrel and Garlic Soup image

I have made this recipe a few times and my hubby can't get enough of it. Another name for this soup is Schav. Don't worry about using a whole bulb of garlic, the flavour mellows as it cooks. This soup is served cold. A dollop of sour cream in this really adds as well. You can double this recipe. If you want you can also add some stinging nettle to the soup, it adds another depth of flavour.
