Sour Potato Soup

Sour potato soup is a pleasantly tangy, sour-cream Hungarian soup, which comes together quickly and is always a hit.

1. Chop the onion finely, then sweat it glassy in the oil, add the garlic and the paprika, and stir it quickly.

2. Add the diced potato and the bay leaf, then pour in the water.

3. Over a medium heat cook the potato tender.

4. Mix the sour cream with the flour, then add it to the soup by tempering it (thinned with a little hot soup).

5. Sour it with vinegar, season it with salt and pepper, then boil it for a few minutes.

Tip: Always add the sour cream to the soup by tempering it, so it does not curdle; add the vinegar gradually, and keep tasting for the acidity.
