How do you add sour cream to soup so it won't curdle?

Answer 1

when they are both cold

Answer 2

First get a good grade of sour cream that is fresh in the tub and has not separated; stir it well. Then at the end of the cooking of the soup, turn the fire off under the soup and add the sour cream.

You cannot cook sour cream: it will always curdle.

Answer 3

In addition to all of these great answers, you also need to neutralize the acid content of your soup. If you have tomatoes (or any other acidic vegetable) in your soup, you need to add baking soda to your soup at the beginning of the process. The amount you add depends on the amount of soup you are making. Start out with a teaspoon for a small batch and increase the amount as you increase the amount of soup. Approximately 1 teaspoon per one-half gallon of soup.

As stated by others, add the sour cream (after stirring it to a smooth texture) to the soup at the end of the cooking cycle. Do NOT cook the soup after adding the sour cream. The best way is to add it a dollop at a time at the dinner table.

Answer 4

Add a little of the soup to the sour cream first and mix it well before adding the combination to the rest of the soup.

Answer 5

Do it like you would do beef stroganoff. Bring the soup to a boil, cut the heat and take the pot off the burner...add your sour cream. Truth be told, I have added sour cream to things while it was still on the heat and I have never had a problem.

Answer 6

it's best to add hot things to hot things, and cold things to cold things. so try SLOWLY heating up the sour cream by itself before you add it to the already boiling soup. if they're aprx. the same temperature, then your chances of the sour cream curdling go way down.

Answer 7

you can taper it by adding a little soup to the sour cream a little of the time to bring the temperature to together then mix the sour cream in the rest of the soup

Answer 8

You have to make sure the SOUP IS COLD in order to add sour cream to it.

Answer 9

Whatever you add it to can not be boiling and you can not boil it after adding it. Remove the dish from the heat and then add it. Sour cream should be the last thing you add.

Answer 10

Try Crème fraîche a more stable ingredient much like sour cream

Answer 11

It's easiest to just add a dollop to each bowl you serve.
