A wonderful soup, hearty and very filling. You can also make this completely vegetarian by using vegetable broth in place of the beef broth but it loses a little something. Also with the new fad of using Greek yogurt for everything DO NOT SUBSTITUTE GREEK YOGURT FOR THE SOUR CREAM IT WON"T WORK. I speak from experience yuk to Greek yogurt in this recipe. Using a food processor helps speed the grating along and will be much cleaner process than hand grating.
