Preparation
- Step 1
Combine 3 cups of water and the rice in a pot; simmer, covered, until very soft, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat, add the onion and cook until slightly soft. Add the peas and toss for 1 minute. Add the rice with its cooking liquid, the sugar and salt.
- Step 2
Simmer, covered, until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Pass the soup through the medium disk of a food mill.
- Step 3
Slice the sorrel into slivers. Reserve a handful for garnish and place the rest in a nonaluminum pot with the remaining ½ cup water. Stir over moderate heat until "melted."
- Step 4
Add the sorrel to the puree and press the mixture through a fine sieve. Add ½ cup buttermilk and ¼ cup cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper.
- Step 5
Refrigerate at least 4 hours. To serve, add buttermilk and cream to taste and check seasoning. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining sorrel and serve.
