Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup cold milk
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cubes beef bouillon
• 2 pinches salt
• 1 bunch green onions, lighter half chopped thin and darker green half discarded
• 2 cups chopped button mushrooms
• 1 cup chopped rotisserie chicken

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tarragon, nutmeg, green onions, and salt. Cook until the green onions soften, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until tender, about 5 minutes more. Fold in chicken and continue to cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over mixture, stirring until completely absorbed into mixture, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 2

Dissolve bouillon cubes in hot water. Add to the skillet about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring to dissolve any clumps of flour between batches. Increase heat and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat to medium. Add sour cream and stir until well combined. .

Step 3

Dissolve cornstarch into cold milk, then stir into soup. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until soup begins to bubble, but not boil. Lower heat to medium, add lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
