--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      lb            Sorrel
   3      oz            Butter
                        Large onion, chopped
   2      T             Flour (heaped)
   2 1/2  l             Stock
   2      T             Breadcrumbs
                        Salt and pepper
   2                    Egg yolks
 150      ml            Cream

  Wash the sorrel well and chop it up.  Heat the butter in a saucepan and
  just soften the sorrel and onion in it.  Shake the flour over the
  vegetables and mix well.  Let it cook for about 1 minute.  Meanwhile bring
  the stock to the boil, then add to the pan.  Add the breadcrumbs, season
  to taste, and bring to the boil, then simmer for about 1 hour covered.
  (It can be liquidized at this point, but needn't be.)  Beat the egg yolks
  with the cream and add a little of the hot soup to the mixture, stirring
  well;  then add gradually to the soup pot, stirring well, over the heat,
  but being careful not to let it boil.
