Melt 50 g butter in a large over a medium heat, then add shallot chopped small, cook one minute.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Add the sorrel leaves, and let them wilt while stirring gently.
Stage 6
Wilting means that the beautiful green sorrel will become brown and mushy, but fortunately it keeps all its taste.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Add potatoes in the pan, salt and pepper, and cover.
Stage 8 - 25 min.
Add 1 litre 500 ml water, 1 chicken stock cube and cook until the potatoes are done.
Stage 9 - 5 min.
At the end of this time, remove from the heat, and blend the contents of the pan with a blender.
Remarks
The boys call this recipe "alien soup", obviously from the color. They came up with this version: put a small alien in a blender with 1 litre of acid, do not salt (the alien is naturally salty) and blend about thirty seconds, serve immediately.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.
