3. Add heavy cream and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
4. Place sour cream in a freezer bag and snip off the corner.

Serve with these fun Halloween ghost breadsticks or Halloween mummy garlic bread!
Variations
- Use chicken broth in place of vegetable stock.
- Instead of heavy cream, try full-fat coconut milk.
- Add some spice with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- For an even more filling soup, you can add all kinds of extras to the basic soup base. Try bowtie pasta or other small shapes, diced red potatoes, green beans, or kidney beans.
- Sliced green onions make a nice garnish.
- Switch out the tomatoes and turn it into sweet potato or pumpkin soup instead.
Tips and Tricks
- You can make this soup easily in a slow cooker.
- This recipe is a great one for make-ahead meal prep. Cook up a large batch of soup and store it in the freezer, in an airtight container, for up to 3 months. When you want to eat it, just heat and serve.
- A spider’s web is perfect for Halloween, but you can draw any kind of shape or design that you want with the sour cream. Customize it to fit with any season or occasion.
