Peel and finely dice the onion. Finely dice the bacon. Trim and thinly slice the mushrooms. Fry the bacon cubes (without fat) in a pan until crispy, then remove and place on kitchen paper. Heat the butter in the same pan. Then fry the mushrooms and onion until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, then dust with flour and sauté. Stir in 600 ml water and the sour cream and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Then season to taste with the vegetable stock powder. If desired, purée the soup at this point. Serve the soup on plates and garnish with chives and bacon cubes to serve. Tip: a splash of white wine also goes well with the soup.
