8 ounces fresh sorrel, rinsed and leaf-stem removed 2 tablespoons Canola oil 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 cup minced onion 4 cups cool water 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons butter Kernals of one ear of cooked corn
Prepare the sorrel for cooking. To remove the center stem, fold the leaf in half vertically, grasp the leaf stem and pull it free.
Heat the oil in a saucepan before adding the garlic and onion pieces. When the onion has softened, begin adding the sorrel leaves, one handful at a time. Cover and cook for a minute or two to allow it to wilt before adding more. Once all the sorrel is in the pot, add the water, salt and pepper. Bring liquid to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Off the heat, puree the sooup with an imersion blender. Stir in the cream and refrigerate. Adjust seasonings just before serving.
At serving time, melt the butter in a skillet. Toss the corn kernals in the warm butter. Divide the corn among the servings, placing a mound in the middle of the bowl. Spoon the cold soup around the corn and serve immediately.
