Ingredients

Ground Oats - 6.3 oz
Turnips - 2 pieces
Onion - 1 head
Sorrel - 14.1 oz
Wild Garlic Greens - to taste
Bay leaf - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cook the broth from the smoked ribs over low heat, ensuring there is enough meat on them. While cooking, add pepper and bay leaf to the broth. Slightly cool, strain the broth from the ribs, and remove the meat from the ribs.

Step 2

Boil the oat groats in the broth until soft. Add the smoked meat (if there isn't enough meat on the ribs, buy quality homemade smoked ham and add it).

Step 3

Sauté the onion and carrots slightly in a hot pan. Add to the broth and bring to a boil. Then add the rinsed and chopped sorrel and fresh wild garlic. Cook until the carrots are soft. If necessary, add salt and pepper. If the soup is not sour enough, add a little lemon juice. Serve with chopped eggs and fresh dill. In spring, you can freeze wild garlic and sorrel to make the soup in winter.
