If your food processer is large enough, add sour cream and process briefly.
Pour into a large bowl and stir in buttermilk, chicken broth, and tabasco to taste. Salt to taste , and refrigerate until very cold.
Garnish as desired with chopped tomato, sliced almonds, minced onion, parsley and/or cilantro. some garnish with additional sour cream. I prefer the tomato and almond and a pinch of green onion only.
