--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  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.
