1 24 oz. container of sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green onion (or leeks, or yellow onion!)
2 cloves minced garlic or 2 teaspoons chopped garlic from a jar
1 teaspoon cayenne or crushed hot pepper
fresh ground black pepper to taste
salt (or garlic salt) to taste
Mix all ingredients.
If you don’t want it so zippy reduce or cut out the cayenne pepper and/or the garlic.
NOTE:
The salt will help it keep longer. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and refrigerate overnight. When adding salt start with a scant half teaspoon and mix well, then taste for saltiness. It’s very easy to add too much – then you’ve got the soup mix stuff! The only way to get it right is to taste it.
Variations:
Same as above but substitute plain yogurt for sour cream and add a sliced cucumber.
