I could make something up, but I won't. This soup takes some time. This is an evolving recipe. Regardless, the base is the same, and every iteration is BadAss. And I've no clue about servings. I'm a bachelor, so I cook in bulk and freeze.

Steps

4-5 hours

1

Ok. So bring water and wine to boil.
2

While that's happening, chop the potatoes and celery into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces. Mince the garlic. Dice the onions.
3

When it boiling, add the bullion as per package direction. Then dump everything but the sour cream, cream, spices, and flour.
4

Return to boil, then put on low for 4 hours.
5

So now we're 4 hours later. Add basil and pepper to taste. I like about 1/4 tsp pepper and 1 tb basil. Sometimes I use white pepper for the heat.
6

Remove from heat, and let sit for a bit. Like 10 minutes. Then add the sour cream and heavy cream.
7

Now sprinkle the fine white flour on the surface. Careful. Just a fine layer at a time, otherwise you'll get dough balls. Mix it in. Keep doing that until the desired thickness is reached.

Enjoy with some sort of dipping bread!
