Follow The Directions

01

Step

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.

02

Step

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.

03

Step

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.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider sautéing the mushrooms with a clove of minced garlic.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend a portion of the soup before adding the sour cream.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

I used vegetable broth instead of beef bouillon and it was still delicious.

The hint of cayenne is perfect. It gives it just the right amount of warmth.

The sour cream adds a lovely tang. I added a splash of sherry for extra depth of flavor.
