Potage a L' Oseille (Creamy Sorrel Soup)

"Another cream of sorrel soup to add to the Zaar database. This is from 12 Months of Monastery Soups; a cookbook my mother in law gave me about two years ago for Chrismtas. Use the freshest, most tender sorrel you can find. If the sorrel is too old, it will make the soup bitter."
