This month’s Improv Challenge hosted by Kristen from Frugal Antics of Harried Homemaker required the participants to use lemon and sour cream. Two things I love! Lemon is can be such a unique flavor when added to a main dish meal and sour cream, well . . . . . .. enough said. I put my thinking cap on and came up with this zesty, satisfying soup with just the right combination of flavors. Everything blended together to make a great lunch or dinner soup. This will be an instant hit with your family!
