A rule to remember in serving soup is that a swirl of sour cream may be stirred into any clear soup or cream soup before serving. Top cream of tomato soup, consomme or cream of mushroom soup with a spoonful of dairy sour cream before serving. With fish soups, season the cream with a bit of salt and ginger or curry powder.
