2 shallots
1 tablespoon lard
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons sour cream
2 chili peppers
parsley (or chives)
broth (or water)
Recipe steps

We season the base with salt and pepper, add crushed garlic, and cook until it is soft.
We blend the mixture with an immersion blender. If it is too liquid, we can thicken it with flour mixed in water and cook for a while.
Finally, we add sour cream and pour the soup into bowls or cups.
We chop the chili peppers, cleaned from seeds, finely. We use them as decoration for the servings of soup.
In the end, we sprinkle with chopped parsley.
