Dill Sour Cream
Directions
In a large stainless pot, melt the butter and sauté the onions until browned around the edges. Add the ginger and continue to brown until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrot, celery, apples and wine.
Reduce the wine for a few minutes to remove the alcohol. Add the stock, peppers, black beans, currants, peppers, parsley, pepper and a good pinch of salt. Simmer until the beans get really soft and start to thicken the soup. Add more stock if needed.
Season with more salt if needed, lemon or lime juice and the garam masala.
Spoon into warm bowls and garnish with dill sour cream.
Dill Sour Cream
Blend the dill with milk.
When it's well blended add the sour cream and salt.
Blend to mix, adding more sour cream if needed to thicken.
Don't over blend because the sour cream will break.
