Mustard soup
Description
A hearty first course. You can use either whole grain mustard or store-bought mustard made from powder to prepare this mustard soup. The key is to control the amount of the main ingredient to prevent the soup from becoming too bitter and unappetizing. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
