Eat the Weeds: How to Identify Wood & Sheep Sorrel and Make a Wild Sorrel Soup

Hello everyone, in this video I will be teaching you how to properly identify two types of wild sorrel and make a delicious wild soup. Wild sorrel has many nutritional benefits and it is easy to identify. I will show you wood sorrel and it's identifying features, such as it's heart shaped leaves and small yellow flowers. I will compare it to white clover, a look a like to the plant. I will also show you sheep sorrel which has rocket shaped leaves and looks much different from it's relative wood sorrel.
After we learn how to identify it, I will take you step by step as I attempt to recreate a recipe for wild sorrel soup. The recipe I used is not my own creation, you can follow the recipe to by going to: honest-food.net/french-sorrel...
The soup ended up being delicious and pack full of vitamin C. Perfect for a chilly summer day, or when you are feeling a bit run down.

    We just discovered both wood sorrel and sheep sorrel in our yard the other day, and we’ve been loving it! I just made this soup last night, and it was delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

    I have loved eating both Sorrell for 45 years, since I was a kid. I discovered it just by plucking and eating. Yum! I will try this soup

    I love how much you go in depth about what your talking about. It shows that you are passion about the subject. I like nature too and haven't seen many videos on nature. You got yourself a new subscriber 😍‼

    It is seriously one of my favorite wild edible plants! It is super sour, delicious, kids love it, and I think it tastes like nature's sour patch kids. Have you had the chance to try this plant? What were your thoughts?

    No, it's a weed that grow abundantly here in New England. You can usually find in untreated lawns, disturbed areas, and sometimes the forest. It's super lemony from the vitamin C in it. Eating it fresh is a delicious snack, but this soup was a game changer!

    Lemon is my favorite. It's bad for your teeth but I love eating lemon with salt as a snack.😅 I feel like this soup is one I would enjoy since you said the sorrel has a lemon flavor. It looks tasty and I think it's awesome you used ingredients from your own backyard!

    Yeah the plant fresh is super lemony. You could make it into a salad too that would be yummy. I call it natures sour patch kids. I love sour stuff so this plant is my favorite! Plus it’s packed full of vitamin C.

    Our favourite sorrel recipe - 500 grams of smoked meat (don’t add if vegetarian) 3 onions 2 bay leaves Handful of pear barley (or rice) 3 carrots 2 potatoes 400 broad leave sorrel (sheep sorrel how you call, for us normal sorrel and first one we called rabbits sorrel in my language 😂) Eggs First boil potatoes and carrots until nearly done, cook onions with meat - add to potatoes and carrots, add pearl barley and cooked chopped eggs and add chopped sorrel. Boil until sorrel is start to browning / changing colour . One off most popular spring time soups from where I live.

    Almost sounds like a Sundrop Soup with Sorrel added..

    What is vegan butter? I thought butter had to be made from milk fat.
