Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 bn Sorrel
1 bn Fresh chervil
50 g Butter (3 1/2 Tbsp)
3 tb Flour
1 Yolk
4 tb To 5 tb sour cream
1 1/2 l Meat broth or water (approx.

A recipe from grandmother's more thrifty times; rarely encountered
today.

Melt the butter, and whisk in flour. Add meat broth or water. Add the
rinsed and chopped herbs, and briefly bring to a boil. Let soup cool
a bit, then thicken with egg yolk. Season with salt, pepper, and a
pinch of sugar. Stir in sour cream when serving.

In some Swabian kitchens, very finely chopped garlic gets scattered
on top of the soup.

Serves 4.
