I am very happy to share my recipe for chowder which includes some cheese as well as fresh kale greens and sorrel leaves. If you can’t find sorrel you can always sub in another type of green with something lemony added to boost the flavor. Examples of those might be lemon, sumac powder or mango powder (amchur).

The sorrel leaves will give a mild tang and love the addition of it in this soup. I have Indian soreel with me and guess would work in this recipe too. I am going to try this delicious soup! YUM!
What a fun change up for potato chowder. Lightens it up and the lemon sorrel is a great addition.
