What does SCHAV mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A cold soup made from sorrel, often flavoured with lemon and sour cream.
Schav gets its tart, slightly lemony taste from sorrel leaves, which are cooked down and then chilled before serving, sometimes with a swirl of sour cream or a boiled egg on top. The soup is associated with Ashkenazi Jewish and Eastern European cooking and was traditionally served in the summer months when sorrel was in season. Because sorrel itself is not always easy to find, schav has become less common outside delicatessens and family kitchens that keep the recipe alive.
