Working in batches if necessary, transfer the soup to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth, adding the 1/2 cup sour cream. (Or puree the soup and sour cream in the pot using an immersion blender.) Strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve. Refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours or until chilled. Serve in chilled bowls or glasses. If you like, garnish with mint or sour cream.
