Between celebrating visiting friends, multiple birthday dinners out, flea market street food, and Mothers' Day last week, Nick and I needed a mid-week respite from the heavy (delicious) meals we'd been eating. I decided that a healthy, green broth was in order, utilizing much of our CSA bounty. The soup's broth I made using some of the sweet white miso paste that I purchased to make JJ's ginger-miso-apple salad dressing. I usually use chicken stock, but the miso made a delicious and hearty base. Sorrel, stinging nettles, potatoes (I should have used the sunchokes from box #1), green garlic, and chives all made their way into the soup. When it was finished cooking, I pureed a portion of the soup with my immersion blender to make a thicker texture. We garnished with chives and fresh lemon zest to bring out the lemony flavor of the sorrel. This was just what we needed for a healthy break amidst the over-indulgences of last week.
