About this dish
Cream of sorrel soup, also known as potage Germiny, crème Germiny, or potage crème d'oseille, is a traditional French springtime vegetable soup, often served cold. It can be made with French sorrel (Rumex scutatus), common sorrel (Rumex acetosa), or foraged wild greens with similar flavor profiles, such as sheep's sorrel (Rumex acetosella), wood sorrel (Oxalis corniculata, Oxalis albicans), sour grass, young leaves of dock (Rumex crispus, Rumex obtusifolius), and others. It is described as a classic French dish, and food writer Bonny Wolf states that "The French have probably had the longest, most ardent love affair with sorrel." Craig Claiborne called potage Germiny "one of the absolute marvels of soupdom".
