2 cups water
1 1/4 cups sour cream

Steps:

  • add potato stock and water bring to boil.
  • reduce heat simmer covered til potato is just tender.
  • add sour cream stir til heated through.
  • remove from heat stir in parsley.
  • IF you want your soup a bit thicker I quickly use a hand held blender and pulse it a couple of times but dont completely blend it or it will be too thick still leave some potato chunks. tastes even better the next day.
  • you can also use 1kg of bintje or pink fir apple potatoes.
