The recipe is incomplete & I made several adjustments so am only leaving comments. The addition of the sour cream is not included in the directions. I elected to temper it & still had a few curdles. The soup was extremly thin and cntaind no thickening agents. It tasted good with the bay leaves and garlic (used 3 cloves). I topped the bowls with dustings of smoked hot paprika & chives.

My names Jess. I'm currently working my way through highschool (Only one year to go...YAY!).
I'm currently working as a waitress in a nearby resteraunt. Nothing special, but it fits in well with my schooling.
Hmm... What sort of things do I like doing... Well... I'm a singer, and I write my own music. I really like drawing and painting; all things arty.
I should probably add that I have a great love and respect for animals, and any other living creature. I'm a very tolerate person and I will never engage in any type of racisim, cruetly or homophobic act. Any kind of aggressive behaviour and I'm out of there.
