  • In a large pot, fry onion until translucent.

  • Make a smooth, pourable paste by mixing the flour with a small amount of warm water.
    Pour the flour paste into the soup while stirring continuously.
    Cook for 5 more minutes to allow the flour to cook and thicken the soup.
  • Take the soup off the heat and stir in the cream.
  • Add vinegar in small steps; stir each time to combine. Add as much or as little as you desire.
  • Note: If you see any spices and bay leaves, you can remove them before serving.
