Creamy Potato Sorrel Soup

1 cup white onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup leek, finely

½ cup celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into large (1/2 inch) dice
4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
10 oz sorrel
1 cup cream, warmed
2 tablespoons chopped chives

½ cup sour cream or crème fraiche

½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

Wash the sorrel and pat it dry. Discard the stems of the sorrel and roughly chop.

Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion, celery and leek and cook until translucent- do not brown. Add the potatoes.

Stir in the chicken stock and salt; simmer 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir in the sorrel and cook for another minute. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is smooth. Stir in the cream- blend again to be sure that the mixture is homogenous. Return the pan to the stove but do not allow to boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sour cream, chives and bacon.
