1. 1
   Heat the butter in a pot over medium heat.

   ⚙ Pan-fryingStovePot
2. 2
   Add the onion and fry 5–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.

   ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.

To assemble

1. 3
   Add the vegetables, potato and water and bring to a boil.

   Stove

   💡One potato in the pot thickens the soup to a cream without flour and without much cream.
2. 4
   Turn down the heat and simmer 25 minutes, until the vegetables and potato are completely tender.

   ⚙ SimmeringStove

   💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
3. 5
   Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.

4. 6
   Season with salt.
5. 7
   Serve in bowls, topped with the sour cream.
