    Step 6:

  • Cut the onion and bell pepper into small cubes and mince the garlic. Slice the leeks and green onion into rounds. Send it all to a skillet with vegetable oil — first fry it, then braise it in a little broth. Then transfer everything to a pot, add more broth, and cook over very low heat until the leeks are soft. Melt the processed cheese into some hot broth (a variety with herbs mixed in works best) and stir it into the soup in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Add the sour cream too, along with ground black pepper and salt. Bring the soup to the table in individual bowls with fresh herbs scattered on top and toasted croutons alongside.
