Avocado Cucumber Chilled Soup (AKA Schav!)

You probably aren’t familiar with schav, named one of the “Five Worst Jewish Foods” in D Magazine. Yeeeeah. The sorrel soup is not exactly popular. But I revamped it as a vegan chilled avocado cucumber soup and now it’s the coolest kid in school!

I’ll admit that I was scared when I first purchased sorrel (surprisingly easy to find at farmer’s markets and supermarkets alike, and simple to grow.)

I had heard horror stories of the tart herb, so when I took a tiny bite, I expected the worst. Plus, I learned that the sharp taste comes from oxalic acid, which is fatal in large quantities. Gulp. But what I got was bright, lemony and with a hint of unripe strawberries. I liked it!
