This is a recipe from my husband’s family in Croatia.    I asked for tips and was told not to substitute low-fat options.  Like Paula Deen says, “I’m your cook, not your doctor.”

SOUR CREAM SOUP

2 sticks butter

2 large onions

(Sautee)

Add:

3-4 chicken breasts (bone-in, with skin)

2 cups water and salt/pepper to taste

(Simmer covered for one hour)

Add 4-5 potatoes sliced crosswise over chicken plus an additional cup of water

(Simmer for 30 minutes)

Remove chicken and potatoes from broth.  Set broth aside.  Remove chicken meat and discard bones.

Blend two cups sour cream and two cups milk.

(***important*** stick sour cream and milk into microwave and knock the chill off; then add a little bit of broth in at a time in the bowl – you are basically bringing the mixture to the temperature of the broth - if you just dump it into the broth, it will curdle)

Mix into broth slowly while simmering.

Add 4 tbs. vinegar to broth.

Add potatoes and chicken back into broth and heat through.

This is one of my husband’s favorite foods and something I’m sure we will pass down for generations. :-)
