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.

Super lemony and delicious. Usually kids favorite edible plant when I teach them!
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?
Oh my this looks amazing!! Did you plant the sorrel plants yourself? I bet it tasted amazing! I love lemony flavors!!

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.
